Agriculture secretary Brooke Rollins threatens to pull funds unless states turn over recipient data to US government
The Trump administration has threatened to suspend SNAP food assistance to several Democratic-led states unless they turn over recipient data to the federal government.
The agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins, said on Tuesday that the USDA could begin blocking funds as early as next week if Democratic-led states continue to reject federal requests for Snap recipient data – information that includes immigration status and social security numbers.
Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Rollins said the USDA needed the data from each state to “root out this fraud, to make sure that those who really need food stamps are getting them, but also to ensure that the American taxpayer is protected”.
Causing the suffering of their rival’s supporters as a weapon against the empathy those rivals have for that suffering.
This man is a 80 year old Joffrey. That so many people side with him is instanity and is a genuine threat to anyone with empathy for others.
