A federal judge has ordered Donald Trump’s administration to fully fund a critical food assistance program by Friday after finding that the government failed to address any administrative issues that have prevented states from quickly sending out partial benefits to millions of Americans.
Last week, the administration was ordered to use emergency funds to keep the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program running and “expeditiously resolve” any clerical issues that could delay that money from getting to nearly 43 million Americans who rely on the program for grocery staples.
