Applaud the 21 States Fighting Trump’s SNAP Restrictions

In a major stand for dignity and basic compassion, 21 states and Washington, D.C. have sued the Trump administration for unlawfully blocking legal immigrants from receiving SNAP benefits. Led by Attorney General Letitia James, the coalition is fighting to overturn new USDA guidance that would wrongly deny food aid to refugees, asylum seekers, and other legal permanent residents.

These states are defending millions of families who rely on SNAP — and pushing back against a policy change that violates federal law, creates chaos for states, and threatens access to the nation’s most important anti-hunger program. As California AG Rob Bonta put it, “We will hold them accountable.”

This lawsuit sends a clear message: America doesn’t solve problems by taking food away from vulnerable people — and no administration can change the rules to punish immigrant communities.

Add your name to applaud these states for standing up for fairness, fighting hunger, and protecting immigrant families from unlawful harm.
