(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton issued a statement on a California’s court’s denial of Judicial Watch request temporary restraining order (TRO) against California Governor Gavin Newsom and his Director of the California Department of Social Services Kim Johnson to restrain them from spending $79.8 million dollars of taxpayers’ money to provide direct cash benefits to unlawfully present aliens. Though the court found that Judicia Watch was likely to succeed on the merits (that Governor Newsom had no authority under law to spend the money), the court found that there was a public interest in sending tax money to illegal aliens during the coronavirus crisis:
It is astonishing that a court would allow a public official to ignore the law and spend tax money with no legal authority. Simply put, as the court seems to acknowledge, the governor has no independent legal authority to spend state taxpayer money for cash payments to illegal aliens. We will appeal the court’s manifest error.
The decision against the temporary restraining order came in a taxpayer lawsuit filed on behalf of Robin Crest and Howard Meyers (Crest et al. v. Newsom et al. (No. 20STCV16321)) .
Governor Newsom announced his executive initiative on April 15, 2020. The initiative plans to spend $75 million to provide direct cash payments to illegal aliens and cost an estimated additional $4.8 million to administer. The Disaster Relief Assistance for Immigrants Project plans to provide one-time cash benefits of $500 per adult / $1,000 per household to 150,000 unlawfully present aliens in California. These benefits are not to be provided to U.S. citizens or legal aliens residing in the state, according to an April 17 fact sheet issued by the California Department of Social Services, the “Disaster Relief Assistance for Immigrants Fact Sheet,” which reiterates that only unlawfully present aliens are eligible for direct assistance.
The Judicial Watch lawsuit argued that the California State Legislature has not enacted any law which affirmatively provides that unlawfully present aliens are eligible for the $75 million of cash public benefits announced by Newsom.

“... a California’s court’s denial...”
So likely totally libtard occupied.
All to invaders Newsome will surrender,
All to Illegal Aliens he will give,
Not his own stuff,
He will keep that,
But treat the taxpayers
Like his bank.
He will give your all.
He will give your all.
Being generous with other people’s stuff.
He will give your all.
By that logic, we as citizens can ignore gun laws too.
yup let it proceed - pay out the moneybefore it gets to a court that actaully does it’s job and stands firm on fact it’s not legal.
Is the whole world crazy?
And next he (Newsom) will ask for a federal bailout.
“These benefits are not to be provided to U.S. citizens or legal aliens residing in the state, according to an April 17 fact sheet issued by the California Department of Social Services, the “Disaster Relief Assistance for Immigrants Fact Sheet,” which reiterates that only unlawfully present aliens are eligible for direct assistance.”
This is Alice in Wonderland stuff! You cannot make up this s**t!
Judge Byrdsong should be removed from the bench immediately, of course he won’t be and the libtards running California are celebrating along with the illegal aliens.
Once off the bench and back in chambers. Sneering at the law. Laughing at the citizens.
There's no doubt in my mind that you're right.
...a California's court's denial of Judicial Watch request temporary restraining order (TRO) against California Governor Gavin Newsom and his Director of the California Department of Social Services Kim Johnson to restrain them from spending $79.8 million dollars of taxpayers' money to provide direct cash benefits to unlawfully present aliens... found that there was a public interest in sending tax money to illegal aliens during the coronavirus crisis... The decision against the temporary restraining order came in a taxpayer lawsuit filed on behalf of Robin Crest and Howard Meyers (Crest et al. v. Newsom et al. (No. 20STCV16321))... the "Disaster Relief Assistance for Immigrants Fact Sheet," which reiterates that only unlawfully present aliens are eligible for direct assistance. The Judicial Watch lawsuit argued that the California State Legislature has not enacted any law which affirmatively provides that unlawfully present aliens are eligible for the $75 million of cash public benefits announced by Newsom.
Note that Judicial Watch does not provide a link to the court’s decision on its website; rather, we are proved with JW’s spin on the court’s decision.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Screw the law, do what you want.
That’s what they are telling the Governor.
They may not like it when we all take that view.
Is that actually the wording in the bailout Bill?
This is easily addressed.The President simply orders that the money that was given to wetbacks is deducted from the Federal $$$ that the state is destined to get.
Tyranny of the Judicial Branch.
Illegal means nothing to communist.
Ah, the old Public Interest Clause. Now where is it ... Article ... Hey, where the heck is it???
This is a major reason there should not be a federal
bailout of states.
