On Friday, just moments after a federal appeals court ruled that the government must pay for Snap food aid benefits, the White House appealed to the supreme court in a additional attempt to halt the directive.

Within hours, the supreme court issued an temporary injunction temporarily blocking complete nutrition assistance payments, which close to 42 thousand people rely on to feed their families.

“Legal counsel will not stop battling, continuously, to defend and advance the president's agenda,” the top legal officer stated on social media around 9:30pm in Washington.

White House staff had asked the US appeals court to overturn a court ruling that it distribute November’s full monthly nutritional assistance during a government funding lapse, and was denied that afternoon.

The High Court Issues Emergency Order Stopping Complete Snap Food Aid Payments

The high court’s decision was issued after the government petitioned a US appellate court last Friday to block a judge’s order requiring them to distribute November’s complete food stamp aid throughout a federal closure.

Subsequent to that appeal to halt got rejected, the White House turned to the high court in a further bid to block the ruling to completely finance Snap food aid disbursements.
