Last Friday, just moments following a federal appeals court ruled that the government needs to completely finance Snap food aid payments, the administration appealed to the nation's highest court in a new bid to prevent the ruling.

Within hours, the supreme court handed down an temporary injunction temporarily blocking entire Snap food aid funds, which close to 42 hundred thousand Americans rely on to put food on the table.

“Legal counsel will not stop working, around the clock, to protect and further the administration's agenda,” a senior official declared on social media just after 9:30pm ET.

Administration officials had asked the appellate court to overturn a judicial decision requiring them to provide the upcoming entire Snap assistance during a US federal government shutdown, and was denied later the same day.

America's Top Court Issues Emergency Order Blocking Entire Food Stamp Payments

The top court's decision came after the administration requested a US appellate court on Friday to stop a judge’s order requiring them to issue this month's complete Snap aid amid a US federal government shutdown.

Following that petition to halt got rejected, the White House turned to the high court in a additional effort to halt the ruling to fully fund Snap food aid disbursements.
