AG Campbell today asked the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to enforce its preliminary injunction blocking the Trump Administration’s renewed demand that states turn over personal and sensitive information about millions of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) applicants and recipients.
“The court made clear that while this case proceeds, the Trump Administration cannot punish states that refuse to help fuel their cruel immigration agenda by violating the privacy of vulnerable children and families trying to make ends meet. All parents deserve to be able to feed their children without having their private information wrongfully taken or the fear of being deported. I’m calling on the court to ensure that the Trump Administration complies with federal privacy laws and previous rulings.” – AG Campbell
