Congresswoman Deb Haaland (NM-01) released the following statement after the Trump Administration issued a final rule that would take food away fromnearly 15,000 New Mexico families. The rule makes it harder for hungry Americans who rely on food stamps to put food on the table while weakening the State of New Mexico's ability to provide food assistance in high-unemployment areas in the state. Nationwide, the move threatens the benefits of millions, including 688,000 within the first month. Everyone deserves the security of getting food on the table for their families, butthis Administration continues its war on working families by cutting food stamps benefits, said Congresswoman Deb Haaland. As someone who relied on food stamps to feed my daughter and me when I was going to school as a single mom, I can honestly say that cutting food stamps is no way to help families who are struggling to make ends meet. I will continue to safeguard SNAP to ensure all Americans can put food on the table. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
