Federal judge rules Trump must fully fund SNAP program by Friday
'People have gone without for too long,' the judge said Thursday.

A federal judge in Rhode Island on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to fully fund the nation's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food aid program by Friday, rejecting the administration's effort to only partially fund the benefits program for some 42 million low-income Americans.

"People have gone without for too long," U.S. District Judge Jack McConnell said in court Thursday.

He scolded the Trump administration for failing to comply with the order he issued last week, which required the U.S. Department of Agriculture to fund the SNAP benefits programs before its funds were slated to lapse on Nov. 1 — marking the first time in the program's 60-year history that its payments were halted.

The judge also said Trump officials failed to address a known funding distribution problem that  could cause SNAP payments to be delayed for weeks or months in some states. He ordered the USDA to tap other contingency funds as needed.

"It’s likely that SNAP recipients are hungry as we sit here," McConnell said on Thursday.

Trump administration officials said in a court filing this week that they would pay just 65% of the roughly $9 billion owed to fund the SNAP program for November, prompting the judge to update his order — and give the administration just 24 hours to comply.

Mr. Trump ought to send a personal note to the judge:
"With what...?"

This judge obviously does not know how the appropriations process works.  Fund SNAP with what?

No judge can rule on other than Constitutional matters.

He is attempting to over-ride Congressional authority to spend money approved in a budget.

There is no money as the government has no budget due to Congress's action to not approve.

And therein lies another problem, judge.

All states have not provided their databases proving these are actually Americans.

US Constitution

Article I

Section 8

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States

Section 9

No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law



This judge is ordering the President to violate his oath of office.
