Trump's emergency petition to the Supreme Court of the U.S. to stay the lower court orders re: SNAP during the shutdown was GRANTED.
This is a lie by omission. You are leaving out part of the story - a part that completely changes the what happened. You left out the rest of the story.
Yes, Justice Jackson granted the emergency stay on a temporary basis, allowing the Trump administration to continue to withhold SNAP benefits while the merits of the case were heard in a lower court. Just a day later, that lower court decided that the administration MUST use emergency funds to pay the benefits, and the emergency stay ended.
In short, the Trump administration lost their case even though they did have an interim win on a procedural issue. The courts ordered the administration to pay the benefits before the shutdown ended.
