各州起诉特朗普政府暂停政府关门期间的SNAP资金
摘要
由25个州和哥伦比亚特区组成的联盟针对特朗普政府在持续的政府关门期间暂停补充营养援助计划（SNAP）福利提起诉讼。
由25个州和哥伦比亚特区组成的联盟针对特朗普政府在持续的政府关门期间暂停补充营养援助计划（SNAP）福利提起诉讼。该诉讼提交至马萨诸塞州联邦地区法院，旨在强制美国农业部（USDA）利用可用的应急资金，继续向约4200万依赖该计划的美国人提供食品援助。
美国农业部宣布，由于政府关门，自11月1日起将停止发放SNAP福利，理由是资金不足。然而，该机构拥有近60亿美元的应急资金，专门用于此类紧急情况。各州辩称，扣留这些资金违反联邦法律，危及数百万低收入个人和家庭的生计。
纽约州总检察长莱蒂蒂娅·詹姆斯表示：“数百万美国人即将挨饿，因为联邦政府选择扣留其依法应提供的食品援助。”
美国农业部则主张，应急资金在资金中断期间不具备用于常规福利的法律资格，声称这些资金仅预留用于自然灾害。该机构还表示，不会补偿试图自行资助SNAP福利的各州。
此次法律行动凸显了州政府与联邦政府之间在持续28天的政府关门期间，围绕基本服务提供问题日益加剧的紧张关系。
