Judge halts Trump administration efforts to impose conditions on SNAP
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's attempt to impose new conditions on states seeking funding from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This decision comes after 20 Democratic states filed a lawsuit against the Agriculture Department, arguing that the proposed conditions, which include restrictions on 'gender ideology' and 'immigration,' are unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Myong Joun issued a preliminary injunction and plans to provide further explanation later. SNAP supports around 39 million Americans, but recent data shows a decline in beneficiaries, attributed to new requirements from a tax and spending cut bill passed last summer.
