The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's emergency request to block a lower court’s ruling that ordered them to fully fund SNAP benefits for November late Friday night.

Rhode Island U.S. District Court Judge Jack McConnell rejected the administration's effort to only partially fund SNAP benefits for November on Thursday and ordered them to fully fund the program within 24 hours.

A Boston Appeals Court declined to intervene, and that’s when Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued an order late Friday pausing the requirement to distribute full SNAP payments until the appeals court rules.
