On Friday, shortly following a federal appeals court determined that the White House must completely finance food stamp benefits, the White House sought intervention from the US top court in a new attempt to halt the directive.

Within hours, the highest court issued an temporary injunction provisionally halting entire Snap food aid benefits, which nearly 42 hundred thousand individuals count on to put food on the table.

“Legal counsel continue working, continuously, to defend and advance our agenda,” the attorney general stated on social media around 9:30pm local time.

Government representatives had requested the federal appeals court to block a judicial decision requiring them to distribute November’s full monthly food stamp benefits in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and had their request rejected later the same day.
