Government Appeals to High Court After Failed Bid to Block Food Stamp Payment Directive

On Friday, immediately after a US appeals court determined that the administration must completely finance nutritional assistance payments, the White House turned to the supreme court in a additional attempt to prevent the order.

Not long after, the supreme court handed down an temporary injunction provisionally halting full food stamp payments, which nearly 42 thousand people depend on to buy groceries.

“Government lawyers will not stop working, continuously, to defend and advance our priorities,” a senior official declared on social media around 9:30pm in Washington.

Government representatives had petitioned the US appeals court to stop a judge's order mandating they issue this month's entire nutritional assistance in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal hours later.

The supreme court's decision was issued after the White House requested a national appeals court last Friday to halt a judge’s order mandating they provide this month's complete food stamp aid throughout a US federal government shutdown.

After that request to block got rejected, the White House sought help from the high court in a further bid to block the order to completely finance Snap food aid payments.
