US judge blocks Trump administration from halting Snap benefits

In a significant move, a federal judge in Rhode Island blocks the Trump administration from halting food assistance for millions of low-income Americans, preventing a potential crisis during the ongoing government shutdown. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or Snap, which provides grocery aid to over forty million people, is at risk due to the shutdown. States are trying to fill the gap, but the federal government's refusal to reimburse them leaves them in a difficult position. As political leaders continue to blame each other, millions of Americans anxiously await a resolution to secure funding for crucial aid programs. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
