New York State Attorney General Letitia James joined California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced at a joint press conference on Monday that they are suing the U.S. Department of Agriculture over demands to turn over Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) applicant data.
The attorneys general are leading a coalition of 20 states and Washington, DC in their lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration. The coalition argues that the extensive demand for SNAP applicant data will violate residents’ privacy, put immigrants at risk, and hinder the ability of states to provide food assistance to those in need.
As part of Trump’s reconciliation bill, approved earlier this month, food benefit funding through the SNAP program will be slashed across the country. The move will put many New York families in need on the brink of hunger, AG James said.
“Without SNAP, many families will not be able to count on their next meal,” James said. “But now, this administration is attempting to use this program in their cruel and chaotic targeting of immigrants.”
The government demanded in May that states turn over data including social security numbers and home addresses dating back five years by Wednesday. The coalition is arguing that federal data privacy law and individual states’ laws prohibit states from providing the data.
Bonta said at Monday’s press conference that even if we thought it was lawful to provide the data, it would be “virtually impossible” to do so within the demanded time frame.

We were told illegal aliens aren't eligible for welfare programs.
Whatever happened to the lawsuit against James for her fraudulent claim that her property in another state was her primary residence? Has that just disappeared?
She is just a bloated cow!
Extremely fat poor people will feel rumblies in their tummies if that monster Trump gets his way.
Blue states are trying to block an investigation into the SNAP welfare program which is rife with waste, fraud and abuse. Despicable.
It is clear 1/2 these funds goes to her.
They can buy coca cola with their SNAP food stamps! That isn’t food!
As usual, James is making things up.
Letitia, if you are so concerned, what is stopping you and NY from spending your own money?
VA resident, james. fixed it.
The Dems can’t help but lie about everything. The immigrants are raiding the Americans of money. And Americans have a hard time feeding their own families.
And it’s their Blue fraud they are trying to hide. All federal programs have eligibility criteria and reporting requirements that Dem Presidents didn’t enforce.
Now they’re panicking because they haven’t been complying, they know they weren’t complying and there will be repercussions from exposure.
This is the Blue version of Delay, Deny, Defend.
No standing. Next.
That FAT UGLY LESBIAN is going to get her due.....either this life or the next.
NY York State, and especially NY City, only exists on welfare, Fed.gov handouts, and skimmings from Wall Street.
Maybe Letitia’s name is on the SNAP list too?
