Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta, marks the 45th time this year that California has taken the Trump administration to court over its policies, often joined by other Democratic governors and attorneys general. Many of those lawsuits, like this one, challenge moves by the White House to withhold funding to California and other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/2025.10.28%20Complaint.pdf\">lawsuit\u003c/a>, filed in federal court in Massachusetts, alleges that the U.S. Department of Agriculture still has sufficient funds to continue administering Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits despite the government shutdown. It asks the court for a temporary restraining order to halt the suspension, set to take effect Nov. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the first time ever, SNAP benefits will not be available to the millions of low-income individuals who depend on them to put food on the table,” Bonta said. “With the holidays around the corner, we are seeing costs for groceries continue to increase and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12061440/calfresh-snap-ebt-shutdown-find-food-banks-near-me-san-francisco-bay-area-alameda-oakland-contra-costa-newsom-national-guard\">food banks facing unprecedented demand\u003c/a>. We are taking a stand because families will experience hunger and malnutrition if the Trump administration gets its way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 5.5 million Californians \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12060770/snap-calfresh-food-stamps-government-shutdown-november-payments-ebt\">rely on SNAP benefits\u003c/a>, which are distributed as debit cards to people making less than the federal poverty line — about $31,000 for a family of four. Last year, Bonta said, 41 million Americans benefited from SNAP, most of them families with children and many of them disabled or elderly. In California, the SNAP program is known as CalFresh.[aside postID=news_12061440 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/013_KQED_SanFranciscoMarinFoodBank_03182020_9229_qed.jpg']The Trump administration has sought to blame Democrats for the shutdown and the suspension of SNAP benefits. Last week, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12061030/california-national-guard-to-support-food-banks-as-federal-shutdown-drags-on\">told KQED\u003c/a> in a statement that Democrats could choose to end the shutdown at any time by supporting a continuing resolution to extend federal appropriations, and a banner now at the top of the USDA’s website accuses Democrats of keeping the government closed as they “hold out for health care for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit alleges that the USDA’s Oct. 24 decision to suspend SNAP benefits, despite having $6 billion in contingency funds available, contradicts the agency’s earlier statements that it could use those funds during the government shutdown. And it notes that USDA has never before chosen to cut off benefits during a government shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While Donald Trump parades around the world trying to repair the economic damage he’s done with his incompetence, he’s denying food to millions of Americans who will go hungry next month,” Newsom said in a statement. “It’s cruel and speaks to his basic lack of humanity. He doesn’t care about the people of this country, only himself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

In keeping with his typical approach, he avoided calling out President Donald Trump or the Trump administration by name, instead referring to “this federal administration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These tactics are designed to incite backlash, chaos and violence, which are then used as an excuse to deploy military personnel. They are intentionally creating a dangerous situation in the name of public safety,” Lurie said. “And while we cannot control the federal government, here in San Francisco, we define who we are.

The mayor’s latest order calls on the city’s law enforcement agencies to “support San Francisco’s immigrant communities” and directs departments to “coordinate public safety and communication procedures in the event of enhanced federal immigration enforcement actions or federal deployment of the National Guard in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lurie’s response comes one day after City Attorney David Chiu said \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12060875/san-francisco-prepares-necessary-legal-action-if-trump-deploys-national-guard\">his office is prepared to sue the Trump administration\u003c/a> if the president follows through on recent threats to send the National Guard to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors pressed Lurie over his administration’s plans for keeping residents safe in the face of increased ICE raids. The mayor responded by saying that crime rates are dramatically lower this year than in previous years, defended local law enforcement capabilities and said his office has been meeting regularly with city agencies to prepare for potential interventions by the National Guard.[aside postID=news_12061080 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/GettyImages-2220045842-2000x1334.jpg']“This scenario has become increasingly and terrifyingly more real for thousands of our constituents over the past six days,” said Supervisor Jackie Fielder, whose district includes the heavily Latino Mission District. “We’ve been bracing for this moment. The moment that people stop going to work, when anyone Black or brown can’t freely walk outside without the fear of Trump’s federal agents racially profiling and arresting them. The moment when parents stop sending their kids to school, become too afraid to go get groceries, or go to the doctor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta, who sued President Donald Trump earlier this year for deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles during anti-ICE protests, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12060755/bonta-says-state-is-ready-vows-to-sue-in-minutes-if-trump-sends-troops-to-sf\">also vowed Tuesday to sue again\u003c/a> “in minutes” if Trump sends troops to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Newsom ordered a National Guard unit to come to the Bay Area in order to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12061030/california-national-guard-to-support-food-banks-as-federal-shutdown-drags-on\">support food banks across the state\u003c/a> as the federal government shutdown continues.
