BREAKING: Supreme Court Temporarily Halts Obama Judge’s Order Requiring Trump Admin to Fund SNAP Benefits


The US Supreme Court on Friday evening temporarily halted a lower court’s order requiring the Trump Administration to fund SNAP benefits for November.
On Thursday, Judge John McConnell, a Rhode Island-based district court judge, ordered the Trump Administration to fund SNAP benefits amid the Schumer Shutdown.
On Friday evening, the First Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Judge John McConnell’s order forcing the Trump Administration to fully deliver the SNAP benefits to states by midnight tonight.
DOJ Solicitor John Sauer asked the Supreme Court to respond by 9:30 pm ET tonight.
Late Friday evening Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily halted Judge McConnell’s order requiring Trump to fund SNAP benefits in full.
Justice Jackson stayed the judge’s order to allow the First Circuit Court of Appeals to review the ruling.
“This administrative stay will terminate forty-eight hours after the First Circuit’s resolution of the pending motion, which the First Circuit is expected to issue with dispatch,” Justice Jackson wrote.

“Our attorneys will not stop fighting, day and night, to defend and advance President Trump’s agenda,” she added.
