Volunteers organize donated beans, powered milk and other nonperishable items during a food drive in front of the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Thursday in Washington, D.C. The event brought together faith leaders, food bank workers and furloughed federal employees who demanded that the Trump administration release billions in emergency funds for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Judge Indira Talwani acknowledged this will leave millions of people without assistance starting Saturday. Two dozen Democratic-led states had sued over the administration's decision to suspend SNAP.
