New York Attorney General Letitia James today released the following statement after a federal judge granted a full temporary restraining order (TRO) preventing the Trump administration from punishing states that issued full November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits:
“It should not take a court order to know that feeding kids is the right thing to do, yet the federal government continues its cruel effort to cut off food assistance. Anyone who seeks to punish others for feeding families is not on the right side of history. I am relieved that the courts have once again shut down this administration’s pro-hunger crusade.”
