On Friday, just moments after a US appeals court determined that the government must completely finance food stamp disbursements, the federal government appealed to the nation's highest court in a additional attempt to block the ruling.

Within hours, the top US court released an emergency order temporarily blocking complete Snap food aid payments, which close to 42 thousand people count on to put food on the table.

“Our attorneys persist in battling, day and night, to support and promote the president's policies,” a senior official declared on social media shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.

White House staff had asked the federal appeals court to block a judicial decision requiring them to distribute November’s full monthly Snap assistance in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and had their request rejected that afternoon.

America's Top Court Releases Temporary Injunction Blocking Entire Food Stamp Payments

The high court’s order came after the White House requested a national appeals court last Friday to block a court ruling mandating they issue this month's entire Snap assistance amid a US federal government shutdown.

After that request to stop got rejected, the administration sought help from the supreme court in a further bid to halt the order to pay for food stamp payments.
