Federal judge hesitant to dismiss Minnesota suit over SNAP funding

A federal judge in Minnesota is hesitant to dismiss the state's lawsuit challenging the USDA's attempt to freeze its SNAP funding. The USDA argues the lawsuit was premature as no funds have been withheld, while Minnesota claims the USDA bypassed proper procedures. Judge Laura Provinzino suggested the USDA's demand letters constituted final agency action but questioned whether the case remains viable due to the lack of actual funding cuts.
