WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration announced plans on Tuesday to suspend Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for recipients in predominantly Democratic states, effective next week, unless those states comply with requests for detailed information about benefit recipients.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins highlighted during a Cabinet meeting that the decision stems from the refusal of these states to furnish requested data, including the names and immigration statuses of individuals receiving SNAP benefits.
