White House Seeks Help from Top Court After Failed Bid to Halt Snap Aid Order
This past Friday, just moments following a federal appeals court ruled that the White House needs to pay for nutritional assistance disbursements, the White House sought intervention from the nation's highest court in a new bid to prevent the ruling.
Within hours, the highest court handed down an temporary injunction provisionally halting complete food stamp funds, which nearly 42 million individuals count on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel will not stop working, continuously, to defend and advance the president's agenda,” a senior official announced on social media around 9:30pm local time.
Government representatives had petitioned the federal appeals court to block a court ruling mandating they distribute this month's entire nutritional assistance during a federal closure, and was denied later the same day.

The supreme court's decision was issued after the administration petitioned a national appeals court on Friday to stop a judge’s order that it provide this month's full monthly food stamp aid amid a US federal government shutdown.
Subsequent to that appeal to block was denied, the administration turned to the high court in a further effort to halt the directive to fully fund food stamp disbursements.
