(The Center Square) — New York Attorney General Leticia James is leading a group of Democrats suing the Trump administration over a requirement to turn over personal information about SNAP recipients.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court on Monday, James and 20 other attorneys general argue that the Department of Agriculture's recent guidance declaring that some immigrants, including refugees and those granted asylum, are ineligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is illegal. The AGs ask a federal judge to block enforcement of the policy.
