UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits.
Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families.
It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.

![B. Next Steps
So now what? The Court last details the next steps that these proceedings may take.
First, before initiating any criminal-contempt proceedings, courts typically allow the
contumacious party an opportunity to purge its contempt — that is, to remedy its violation by
voluntarily obeying the court order. See Yates v. United States, 355 U.S. 66, 75 (1957) (“[A]
court should first apply coercive remedies in an effort to persuade a party to obey its orders, and
only make use of the more drastic criminal sanctions when the disobedience continues.”); cf. 9A
Wright & Miller, supra, § 2465 (“The district judge normally will preface a contempt citation
with an order directing either compliance with the subpoena or a showing of an excuse for the
noncompliance.”). The most obvious way for Defendants to do so here is by asserting custody of
the individuals who were removed in violation of the Court’s classwide TRO so that they might](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreialcfiytir72qslbtfdwzyhno4hvar46fajqitysmgtbsxnrmopqy@jpeg)
