Judge Blocks Rule That Would Have Kicked 700,000 People Off SNAP

A federal judge has issued an injunction blocking the Trump administration from adopting a rule change that would force nearly 700,000 Americans off food stamps, officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. The rule change was set to take effect April 1.

In a ruling issued Friday evening in Washington, D.C., U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell called the rule change capricious, arbitrary and likely unlawful.

The rule change would have required able-bodied adults without children to work at least 20 hours a week in order to qualify for SNAP benefits past three months. It would also have limited states' usual ability to waive those requirements depending on economic conditions. The preliminary injunction will preserve that flexibility.

Wow expecting able bodied adults with no kids to work 20 hours peer week. Barbaric and racist.

 

It will be over turned shortly like the rest . She is another leftist activist Trump hating  judge appointed by Nobama. She oversaw the grand jury for the Russia Probe

She's indeed one of the judicial termites that use the injunction with regularity. Thankfully Trump is in the process of fumigating this institution. It needs a reminder that its position is judging constitutionality not abusing power as a method of dealing with policy disagreements. SCOTUS is also tired of the injunctions from lower courts. It's gonna change, one way or another.

You know most people with no kids only get about $50 a month anyway?
