US Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins said on December 2, local time, that if states governed by the Democratic Party fail to provide relevant data on beneficiaries, the federal government will stop disbursing funds to these states to distribute “Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program” benefits starting next week. Rollins said at a cabinet meeting held at the White House on the same day that the decision was because the relevant states refused to provide information on food aid beneficiaries requested by the Department of Agriculture, and that this data is critical to eradicating fraud in the project. “Starting next week, we'll stop sending federal money to these states until they comply.”
