A Churches Respond to Newsom’s Attempt to Delay Hearing

LOS ANGELES, CA – Today, Harvest Rock Church and Harvest International Ministry filed a motion to the federal district court of California against Governor Gavin Newsom’s attempt to delay tomorrow’s hearing for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction regarding his unconstitutional orders. The Supreme Court has issued to this, and every other, court a roadmap that leads to one destination – that the restrictions on churches and places of worship in California violate the First Amendment Free Exercise Clause. Indeed, the restrictions in California are worse than those enjoined in Roman Catholic Diocese v. Cuomo, No. 20A87, 2020 WL 694835 (U.S. Nov. 25, 2020). There, the High Court stated unequivocally: “There can be no question that the challenged restrictions, if enforced, will cause irreparable harm.”
