Forty-two million face food aid delays after the nation's top Court lets US president pause full SNAP payments.

The federal judge ruled that Trump was choosing to withhold federal food aid due to "political reasons".

The Trump administration asked a federal appeals court for an emergency block on a judge’s order that it pay 42 million Americans full SNAP benefits for November by Friday.

The food program serves about 1 in 8 Americans, mostly with lower incomes.

U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell Jr. had given Trump’s administration until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

The Trump administration told states to make benefits available even as it asked the Supreme Court to let it block the benefits.
