President Donald Trump's administration on Monday told the U.S. Supreme Court that it continues to seek a halt of a judge's order requiring it to fully fund food aid for 42 million low-income Americans this month even as lawmakers take steps toward ending the federal government shutdown.

The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to strike down a federal judge’s order requiring it to restore payments of SNAP benefits to millions of Americans that were halted due to the ongoing government shutdown.

The Trump administration has asked a federal appeals court to issue an emergency stay of a judge's ruling Thursday ordering the administration to fully fund SNAP.
