Two federal judges have ordered the Trump administration to use billions in emergency funds to help cover food stamp benefits for November.
Two federal judges have ruled that the Trump administration must allocate billions of dollars in emergency funds to ensure food stamp benefits are at least partially covered for the month of November.
The decision comes after several states and advocacy groups filed lawsuits, arguing that millions of low-income Americans could lose access to essential food assistance without immediate federal intervention.
According to court documents, the judges determined that the administration has both the authority and obligation to utilize unspent emergency relief funds to maintain the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during the ongoing economic strain.
Legal analysts say the ruling represents a significant check on executive discretion over emergency funds and highlights the judiciary’s role in safeguarding public welfare programs.
The White House has not yet indicated whether it will appeal the decision, but officials have stated they are reviewing the court’s order and assessing next steps.
