Today, House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Angie Craig (MN-02) released the following statement regarding the lawsuit filed by a multistate coalition of 26 attorneys general to hold the Trump administration accountable for withholding food assistance from 42 million hungry Americans.

“Today, a coalition of attorneys general from across 25 states and the District of Columbia stood up for the 42 million Americans who rely on federal food assistance to keep food on their table every month. I applaud their courage and principled stance against a lawless administration that is unilaterally depriving eligible American seniors, veterans, people with disabilities and  children of food assistance. Enough is enough. President Trump and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins must disburse the congressionally appropriated funds and use all available legal authority to ensure the most vulnerable members of our communities can keep food on their tables come November.”
