Government Turns to High Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Halt Food Stamp Payment Directive
Last Friday, shortly after a US appeals court ruled that the administration is required to pay for nutritional assistance payments, the federal government turned to the supreme court in a new attempt to halt the order.
A short time later, the top US court issued an urgent ruling temporarily blocking entire food stamp funds, which approximately 42 thousand individuals count on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel persist in battling, continuously, to protect and further the administration's agenda,” the top legal officer declared on social media just after 9:30pm ET.
Government representatives had requested the US appeals court to stop a judge's order that it issue this month's complete nutritional benefits amid a government funding lapse, and was denied hours later.
The High Court Grants Emergency Order Halting Full Food Stamp Payments
The supreme court's decision followed the government requested a national appeals court last Friday to stop a court ruling that it issue November’s entire nutritional aid throughout a US federal government shutdown.
Subsequent to that appeal to stop was denied, the White House sought help from the high court in a additional effort to halt the order to pay for food stamp benefits.
