850,000 New Jerseyans use SNAP—350,000 are children. The Trump admin. has leveraged the full legal might of our government to deny them food.
We stopped them in court, and they told us they’d comply and fund SNAP.
Now they're trying to take it back. This is why we are fighting.

NEW: The Trump Admin has admitted they must comply with yesterday’s court order and issue full SNAP benefits for November.
Recipients should confirm balances and monitor NJSNAP.gov. We’ll continue fighting to protect NJ residents and make sure they don’t go hungry.

This case is about more than car thefts—it is about robbing people of their sense of security and safety. We are using recently enacted laws to charge criminals who invade homes to steal key fobs so that they can steal cars, a dangerous escalation of car thefts.

Great conversations with students at @acslaw.bsky.social's chapter at Rutgers Newark.
We had a meaningful discussion about the challenges facing our justice system and the importance of public service in meeting them. I’m encouraged by the passion these future lawyers bring to the work ahead.
