From CBS News.

A pair of federal judges on Friday ordered the Trump administration to continue paying some food benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which was set to have its funding expire on Saturday due to the ongoing government shutdown. It remains unclear if the rulings mean millions of Americans on SNAP will get their benefits, or if it is just the start of a legal battle. CBS News has been in communities big and small nationwide throughout the week, hearing from the families fearful of what happens next.
