A federal judge on Sunday struck down the Trump administration's proposal that would have kicked off nearly 700,000 American adults from food stamps. .

US District Court, the Trump administration's proposed changes to alter Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) "radically and abruptly alters decades of regulatory practice, leaving States scrambling and exponentially increasing food insecurity for tens of thousands of Americans."

It was estimated in March this change would have disqualified nearly 700,000 American adults from food stamps.
