Good morning.

On Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom thanked the state’s undocumented workers, many of whom pick fruits and vegetables, care for the sick and perform other critical jobs.

Then he announced a plan to help them: The federal coronavirus relief package does not include aid for undocumented immigrants. So Mr. Newsom said the state would step in with $75 million, plus another $50 million from philanthropic organizations, to be paid to affected families who are undocumented.

He said it was the first such move in the nation.

Mr. Newsom also signed an order aimed at gig economy workers in a move that could set up a clash with Washington.
