Not long after, the top US court issued an urgent ruling provisionally halting full food stamp funds, which nearly 42 hundred thousand Americans count on to put food on the table.
“Legal counsel will not stop battling, day and night, to support and promote our policies,” the top legal officer announced on online platforms just after 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had requested the US appeals court to stop a court ruling requiring them to issue the upcoming full monthly nutritional payments during a federal closure, and had their request rejected that afternoon.
