A federal judge in Boston granted a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration from imposing conditions on states to receive SNAP (food stamp) funding. The conditions included restrictions related to gender ideology, immigration, and athletic opportunities for women and girls. The ruling sided with 20 Democratic states that challenged these requirements in a federal lawsuit. SNAP serves approximately 39 million Americans, or about 1 in 9 people, as a major part of the U.S. social safety net.
