US EditionTrump administration asks for emergency pause on judge's order to fully fund SNAP
The administration seeks to continue partial November SNAP payments amid a funding shortfall caused by a 38-day government shutdown affecting nearly 42 million Americans.
- On Friday, the Trump administration asked the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for an emergency pause on a judge's order to fully fund SNAP this month, seeking a stay of the Thursday ruling.
- After funds ran out on Nov. 1, SNAP serving nearly 42 million low-income Americans prompted states and nonprofits to scramble as Judge John McConnell Jr. last week ordered emergency funding, but the administration committed to partial payments to preserve Section 32 child nutrition funds.
- Operationally, partial payments are slower and more complex, with delays likely causing SNAP recipients to go hungry, as a judge ordered full payments by Friday.
- DOJ lawyers told the court that the injunction is `a mockery of the separation of powers` and the government asked the appeals court to allow USDA to continue partial payments without transferring other safety-net funds.
