Well, Newsom just received some more bad news.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.judicialwatch.org\/press-releases\/jw-sues-newsom-aliens\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Judicial Watch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has announced a federal lawsuit on behalf of taxpayers. The suit, which has been filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles, asks the court to stop Newsom\u2019s $75 million expenditure that would provide direct cash assistance to illegal aliens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Judicial Watch argues that Newsom violated federal law and overstepped his authority when he took executive action to assist illegals. The &#8220;Disaster Relief Assistance for Immigrants Project&#8221; would grant illegal aliens a $500 cash payment, with a household cap of $1,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means that your hard-earned tax dollars are being given to criminals who broke federal law and illegally entered the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am relieved that Judicial Watch and the Center for American Liberty are looking out for the best interests of the American people. Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is unbothered by the fact that American tax dollars are being awarded to criminal illegal aliens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ACLU has been busy, however. As of late, they are suing Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), demanding the release of &#8220;especially vulnerable&#8221; illegal aliens. The name &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Civil Liberties Union&#8221;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> implies that this particular organization would be working to protect the civil liberties of Americans, but they don\u2019t appear to be concerned with that at all\u2014and haven&#8217;t been for quite awhile. Rather than fighting for Americans, they seem to be fighting against them.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cGovernor Newsom has no legal authority on his own to spend state taxpayer money for cash payments to illegal aliens,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JudicialWatch?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JudicialWatch<\/a> President <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomFitton?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TomFitton<\/a>.<br \/>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/a1wXSgeDcM\">https:\/\/t.co\/a1wXSgeDcM<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8s3bLc6ZKb\">pic.twitter.com\/8s3bLc6ZKb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Judicial Watch \u2696\ufe0f (@JudicialWatch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JudicialWatch\/status\/1258471665475956739?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 7, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding the lawsuit, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton had this to say: &#8220;Governor Newsom has no legal authority on his own to spend state taxpayer money for cash payments to illegal aliens. The coronavirus challenge doesn\u2019t give politicians a pass to violate the law. If California politicians want to give cash payments to illegal aliens, they must be accountable and transparent, and, as federal law requires, pass a law to do so.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lawsuit seeks to enjoin California &#8220;from providing $75 million of taxpayer funds to unlawfully present aliens in violation of federal law and expending an estimated additional $4.8 million of taxpayer funds as well as additional taxpayer-financed resources on the administration of those payments.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/182229932@N07\/48144872881\/in\/photolist-2gmp4nc-5gLBKs-s37DPV-s7PZU8-HMzuSf-LqKgkD-K8tMrC-7KbpY9-fymj8a-aUF6e6-Myikuj-dWjUPx-fymhGc-2hi4GnS-9p8YtP-gHdEpZ-fUon3W-fyAhGs-s4YNhR-fUpkTJ-gHd13b-bcL4wT-3JpqiV-9pc2um-3Gvq4F-3JtJnA-7d8f5G-Ug75Cn-fympHP-oau6Ux-t45PPf-xeGj7-9p8tPB-4GqVgX-riYn42-fkksS7-4sruLs-8DEyzR-3JtJGy-iq5MBY-6GJYJ2-suCku8-dYqdrp-fUpiPw-cWtTAo-YPz4Yh-bXcvtn-mjY9g-7JdFSf-qw5Qht\">Photo by Ben Taylor via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Michael Palomba You may have seen a recent article in which we discussed the Center for American Liberty filing a petition against Governor Newsom\u2019s aid to illegal immigrants.
