(CNSNews.com) - The Center for American Liberty in coordination with the Dhillon Law Group filed an emergency petition Wednesday on behalf of Ricardo Benitez and Jessica Martinez to stop California Gov. Gavin Newsom from giving taxpayer funds to unemployed illegal aliens.

“On April 15, 2020, Gavin Newsom announced that he was appropriating $75,000,000 to be dispersed to a group of unnamed regional non-profits. This appropriation is to come out of the Section 36 funds that the legislature appropriated for any purpose related to the COVID-19 State of Emergency,” the brief stated.

Californians struggling to make ends meet during extended coronavirus shutdowns were not amused when their governor, Gavin Newsom, announced the creation of a public-private partnership to give away $125 million ($500/person) in pandemic relief grants to illegal immigrants who are ineligible to receive unemployment benefits or federal stimulus checks (because they are not here legally, duh).

Newsom further explained that of the $125 million in funding, $75 million would come from taxpayer funds (without explaining any legislative process appropriating such funds) and that “a group of charities” had promised to chip in $50 million. An accompanying press release gave more details (emphasis added):
