Last Friday, shortly after a US appeals court ruled that the government is required to fully fund food stamp benefits, the White House sought intervention from the US top court in a new attempt to prevent the order.

A short time later, the highest court released an temporary injunction provisionally halting entire nutrition assistance benefits, which close to 42 thousand people rely on to put food on the table.

“Government lawyers will not stop fighting, around the clock, to protect and further the president's policies,” the top legal officer stated on digital channels shortly after 9:30pm ET.

Government representatives had requested the federal appeals court to stop a court ruling mandating they provide the upcoming complete food stamp assistance in the middle of a government funding lapse, and faced refusal hours later.

The high court’s order came after the White House requested a federal appeals court on Friday to halt a judge’s order that it provide November’s entire Snap aid amid a US federal government shutdown.

After that request to block was denied, the administration appealed to the supreme court in a additional attempt to prevent the ruling to pay for nutrition assistance benefits.
