SANTA CLARA, Calif.—California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing yet another lawsuit. This time, the Orange County Board of Education, Children’s Health Defense, and Children’s Health Defense California Chapter are collectively suing Newsom for what they’re calling an endless state of emergency during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The organizations are arguing that Newsom’s “own statements prove his emergency powers are no longer justified.” They filed the lawsuit on Nov. 23.
