WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration said Tuesday that it will move to withhold SNAP food aid from recipients in most Democratic-controlled states starting next week unless they provide information on those receiving the assistance.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said at a Cabinet meeting Tuesday that the action is in the works because those states are refusing to provide information the department requested such as the names and immigration status of the aid recipients.
She said the cooperation is necessary in order to root out fraud in the program. Democratic states have sued to block the requirement.
About 1 in 8 Americans use the program to help buy groceries.
“sued”? that sounds ridiculous. those states also have a vested interest in reducing fraud.
Setting terrible precedents
Great. Once again Trump is doing the dirty work that should have been done decades ago.
Good. FAFO. You had one job to do, Democrat states. Provide data on who’s getting food stamps and you decided to ignore it. Because you’re going to be exposed for all the fraud going on and all the illegals stealing from taxpayers. Democrats= no transparency and no accountability. But there’s a new sheriff in town now. Haha.
wont effect the frum
About 1 in 8 Americans use the program to help buy groceries. And that my friend causes prices to rise. It pent up demand when it’s free. So now 7 in 8 pay more. Source, during the shut down when food stamps were withheld, grocery store owners lowered prices bec of lower demand. Google it
