Trump Administration Threatens to Withhold SNAP Funding from Democratic States Over Data Issues

The Trump administration has issued warnings to Democratic-led states regarding the potential withholding of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) funding unless they comply with requests for recipient data. The Agriculture Department has indicated that states may face cuts in food aid support over noncompliance with data sharing requirements, particularly concerning immigration records. Officials have highlighted that states withholding this information could lose significant federal funding necessary for their food stamp programs. Governors of impacted states have responded critically to these threats, urging for a reconsideration of this policy.
