Judge halts Trump administration efforts to impose conditions on SNAP
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A federal judge in Boston has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's attempt to impose new conditions on states receiving funds from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by 20 Democratic states, which argued that the Agriculture Department's requirements, including those related to 'gender ideology' and 'immigration,' were unconstitutional. The judge, Myong Joun, plans to provide further details on his decision in a memorandum. SNAP supports approximately 39 million Americans, but recent data shows a significant decline in beneficiaries, attributed to new requirements from a tax and spending bill passed last summer.
