Congressman Ivey Provides Statement on Trump Administration's Cuts of SNAP Benefits

Image October 26, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON – Congressman Glenn Ivey (MD-04) provided the following statement in response to the Trump administration's cuts of SNAP benefits: "I am disgusted that the Trump administration has announced that it will illegally withhold available Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in November. The Trump administration is legally required to use a $5 billion emergency fund to make sure that not a single American goes hungry in November. The law does not allow them to weaponize hunger to push their extreme agenda, which includes their $186 billion cut from SNAP (anti-hunger) programs and their $1 trillion cut to Medicaid. "We cannot allow Trump and Congressional Republicans to break the law and use hungry kids, vets, seniors and the disabled as hostages so they can provide their tax cuts for the wealthy." ### Issues : Congress
