A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration to continue funding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during the government shutdown, providing relief to about 42 million Americans who rely on the aid. The order came after a lawsuit filed by Democratic governors and state attorneys general argued that suspending SNAP benefits would be “devastating” for vulnerable low-income Americans. The judge ruled that the administration must resume SNAP payments, citing an emergency situation where people need their aid just hours before it was set to expire.
