Washington: A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's directive that US states "undo" steps they took to issue full snap food aid benefits, according to a court notice on Monday.
The move came after a federal appeals court late on Sunday allowed a judge's order to stand that directs US officials to fully fund this month's food aid benefits for 42 million low-income Americans during the ongoing US government shutdown.
