Judicial Watch announced today it has filed an application for a temporary restraining order 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," and "prevent this manifest abuse of power before it's too late to do so.
Judicial Watch advises the court that an emergency temporary restraining order is necessary because starting imminently in May, Newsom plans to have the Department of Social Service distribute $75 million of taxpayer funds in direct cash benefits to unlawfully present aliens in violation of federal law.
In its April 29 lawsuit on behalf of California taxpayers, Robin Crest and Howard Myers, Judicial Watch alleges that Newsom overstepped his authority and violated federal law when, without affirmative state legislative approval, he took executive action to create DRAIP and provide cash benefits to individuals who otherwise are ineligible for state or federal insurance or other benefits due to their unlawful presence in the United States.
The initiative would spend $75 million to provide direct cash payments to illegal aliens and cost an estimated additional $4.8 million to administer.
The Judicial Watch lawsuit alleges 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.
The California State Legislature has not enacted any state law which affirmatively provides that unlawfully present aliens are eligible for the cash public benefits of $75 million.
"Judicial Watch's taxpayer clients asked for a temporary restraining order because Governor Newsom plans to rush plainly illegal direct cash payments, using taxpayer dollars, to illegal aliens," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
