Donald Trump needs to release SNAP funding immediately. Do what's right, for once.

California will keep fighting to make sure Trump doesn't force millions of Americans to go hungry by illegally withholding federal food benefits.

After the district court issued a temporary restraining order affecting some aspects of immigration-law enforcement in the Chicago area, the judge on her own motion entered a further order requiring Gregory Bovino, a Chief Patrol Agent at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to appear in court at 5:45 p.m. every weekday โ€œto report on the use of force activities for each day.โ€ The judge justified this order by stating that she had seen videos that led her to question whether the TRO was being obeyed. The order was not, however, a response to any motion by counsel for the plaintiffs (and the videos to which the judge referred apparently do not deal with behavior involving any of the plaintiffs).
The federal defendants seek a writ of mandamus with respect to this aspect (and only this aspect) of the district courtโ€™s rulings. We issued a stay of the order requiring Chief Bovino to appear and report daily, and we now GRANT the petition for mandamus.

While this litigation presents very challenging circumstances, the district courtโ€™s order has two principal failings. First, it puts the court in the position of an inquisitor rather than that of a neutral adjudicator of the partiesโ€™ adversarial presentations. Second, it sets the court up as a supervisor of Chief Bovinoโ€™s activities, intruding into personnel management decisions of the Executive Branch. These two problems are related and lead us to conclude that the order infringes on the separation of powers. Review by appeal at the end of the case would not solve the problems created in the interim, which justifies review by a prerogative writ. See In re Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 941 F.3d 869 (7th Cir. 2019). Cf. Cheney v. United States District Court, 542 U.S. 367 (2004).

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sides against U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, who had asked Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino to appear in her Chicago courtroom on a daily basis.

The appeals court finds that her order "infringes on the separation of powers."

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If youโ€™re angry about โ€œyour moneyโ€ feeding people but not angry itโ€™s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

Youโ€™re doing their dirty work.
