Attorney General Kris Mayes won an important victory in the case to protect the privacy of millions of people throughout the country who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for food assistance. In a lawsuit brought by Attorney General Mayes and a coalition of 20 other attorneys general and the state of Kentucky, the District Court for the Northern District of California ordered a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump administration from demanding states turn over personal information of all residents who receive SNAP.

"I’m glad I was able to help put a stop to this obviously illegal and harmful attempt to scrape up the protected personal data of Arizona residents who receive SNAP benefits," said Attorney General Mayes. "In case after case that we’ve filed to stop the federal government’s overreach, the courts are siding with us."
