Judge Blocks Trump Administration From Forcing States To Share SNAP Data
3 weeks ago
A federal judge is preparing to block the Trump administration from requiring states to turn over detailed information on food stamp recipients.
U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney indicated she will side with more than 20 states that sued over the policy.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture had sought data including immigration status related to SNAP benefits, arguing it helps prevent fraud.
The court appears ready to keep the block in place, maintaining protections for state privacy and program administration.
