Judge Strikes Down Trump Policy That Would Have Ended SNAP Benefits For 700,000 Americans

Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell of Washington, D.C., called a Trump administration plan to end food stamps for 700,000 Americans "arbitrary and capricious," especially in light of a pandemic that has caused unemployment to quadruple.

The Trump administration had originally sought to eliminate food stamps for able-bodied adults with no dependents.
