Blow to Trump: Judge Blocks Restrictions on States to Access SNAP Funds
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's attempt to impose new conditions on states seeking funding from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This ruling comes in response to a lawsuit filed by 20 Democratic states, which argued that the restrictions related to gender ideology, immigration, and sports equality for women and girls were unconstitutional. The judge, Myong Joun, issued a preliminary injunction and plans to provide a memorandum explaining his decision. SNAP serves over 40 million participants monthly, and recent data shows a decline in beneficiaries, attributed to new requirements from a tax and spending bill pushed by Republicans.
