Federal judge issues preliminary injunction blocking Trump administration SNAP funding conditions.
U.S. District Judge Myong Joun granted a preliminary injunction halting the Department of Agriculture's requirements that states certify compliance with administration policies on gender ideology, immigration, and other issues to receive SNAP funding. Twenty states and Washington, D.C. sued, arguing the conditions were unconstitutional. The USDA argued the requirements improved oversight of taxpayer dollars.
