flag A federal judge in California has issued a national injunction allowing 21 states and D.C. to continue resisting the USDA’s demand for personal data from SNAP applicants, ruling the federal government likely lacks legal authority to require such information. flag The decision, based on privacy concerns and a likely violation of the SNAP Act, ensures continued federal funding during the lawsuit. flag Kansas, though not a plaintiff, is closely monitoring the case, with officials refusing to comply due to fears of liability and exposure of over 700,000 residents’ data. flag While at least 27 Republican-led states have complied, most resisting states are led by Democrats. flag The outcome may shape future state responses to federal data requests.
