Federal Judge Issues
a Temporary Restraining Order
to Protect SNAP
  Today, the Judge in the federal court in Rhode Island issued a Temporary
Restraining Order

in the lawsuit

brought by the National Council of Nonprofits and a broad coalition of
other plaintiffs seeking to protect SNAP benefits. Under the Temporary
Restraining Order, the federal administration is required to distribute
contingency funds to continue food assistance.

While temporary, this order provides immediate relief to the 42 million
Americans who otherwise would have lost access to food assistance, and the
thousands of nonprofit food banks and food pantries that have been stepping
up in their communities to fill the gaps.

The case was argued by Democracy Forward and the Lawyers' Committee for
Rhode Island.
