(The Center Square) - After a month of halted operations, the U.S. Department of Labor will begin processing necessary documents for visa and permanent resident applications again.

Federal judges ruled the Trump administration is required to pay out at least partial food aid to SNAP recipients during the government shutdown.

The Trump administration said today that it will provide partial food stamp benefits for November by tapping into the program’s contingency fund amid the ongoing government shutdown.

Two federal judges have said the Trump administration cannot use the government shutdown to suspend food assistance for 42 million Americans. But hours into Saturday, when payments were due to be disbursed, President Donald Trump appears to be defying the ruling, potentially leaving millions unable to afford this month’s grocery bills.
