States Unite Against USDA Demands for SNAP Data
A coalition of states, led by Democratic attorneys general, is taking legal action against the Trump administration and the USDA over demands for personal information of SNAP recipients. Multiple lawsuits have been filed across various states, including California, New York, and Michigan, challenging the effort to gather sensitive data on millions of food stamp recipients. The lawsuits argue that such data collection poses serious privacy risks and infringes on the rights of individuals relying on food assistance programs. As the USDA seeks compliance from states to hand over this data by a looming deadline, concerns continue to rise about the implications of sharing personal information with federal authorities.
