Twenty-one other states joined Oregon in filing the lawsuit Wednesday in federal court in Eugene, arguing that the U.S. Department of Agriculture overstepped its authority when it issued an Oct. 31 memo telling states to cut off benefits for people who have long been eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.

OK, so basically, the plaintiffs here are arguing that the US Department of Agriculture which originally used its authority to put the rules in place that provided these loopholes for illegals all of a sudden now lacks the authority to change those same rules.

It isn't charity if it's done at gunpoint.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

It is for the people pointing the guns.  At least that's the way they see it.

If they didn't follow the requirements of the APA, then the action rescinding the benefits may be subject to being overturned.

This is a perennial failure of the Trump administrations - a complete failure to appreciate both the benefits of using, and the risks of ignoring, the APA.
