The Supreme Court extended a pause on Tuesday of a lower court’s order for the Trump administration to use child nutrition funds to fully fund Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, as the House of Representatives is expected to pass legislation to reopen the government as soon as Wednesday.

The unsigned order from the high court extends an administrative stay initially granted by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Friday , which was set to expire late Tuesday evening, through 11:59 p.m. on Thursday. The only noted dissent was from Jackson, who said she would deny the extension of her stay.
