A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore full SNAP benefits by Friday

WASHINGTON – A federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration Thursday to find the money to fully fund SNAP benefits for November.

The grocery-buying ability for about 1 in 8 Americans hinged on the outcome.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell Jr. on Thursday was in response to a challenge from cities and nonprofits complaining that the administration was only offering to cover 65% of the maximum benefit. The government said it will rely on $4.65 billion on emergency funding.
