White House Turns to Top Court Following Failed Attempt to Stop Snap Payment Order
Last Friday, just moments after a federal appeals court ruled that the government is required to pay for nutritional assistance payments, the White House sought intervention from the US top court in a new effort to prevent the order.
A short time later, the supreme court issued an temporary injunction temporarily blocking entire nutrition assistance payments, which close to 42 thousand individuals depend on to buy groceries.
“Our attorneys continue working, day and night, to support and promote our agenda,” the attorney general announced on online platforms just after 9:30pm ET.
White House staff had requested the federal appeals court to stop a judge's order mandating they distribute the upcoming entire nutritional benefits amid a government funding lapse, and was denied that afternoon.

The top court's decision came after the White House requested a US appellate court on Friday to block a court ruling mandating they distribute November’s complete nutritional assistance throughout a federal closure.
Following that petition to halt faced refusal, the White House appealed to the nation's top court in a additional effort to block the ruling to pay for food stamp payments.
