New York, California, and a host of other Democrat-run states are suing the Trump administration over its efforts to weed noncitizens off of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program.
A coalition of 20 attorneys general, led by New York AG Letitia James and California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the lawsuit Monday, arguing that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s demand that states turn over personal information about SNAP recipients dating back five years, violates privacy laws.
SNAP is a federally-funded, state-administered program that provides billions of dollars in food benefits to tens of millions of low-income individuals and families in the United States.
