A coalition of 21 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) over the blockage of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for immigrants.
The Nov. 26 lawsuit, filed at the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, targets certain provisions under the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump, that restricted eligibility for immigrants.
