The Trump administration has until Monday to tell two federal judges whether it will comply with court orders that it continue to fund SNAP, the nation's biggest food aid program.

Zac Hall is the Senior Vice President of Programs at Food Bank For New York City. Mark Dinglasan is the Executive Director of the New Jersey Office of the Food Security Advocate.
