(CNN) — Two beach cities in Southern California voted to file an injunction against the governor’s order to temporarily close all beaches in Orange County.
The cities of Huntington Beach and Dana Point both held emergency City Council meetings Thursday after Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered county beaches closed starting Friday.
Newsom called the order a “temporary pause” saying Thursday the beaches could reopen quickly “if we can get some framework and guidelines to get this right.” Orange County officials blamed the governor’s decision on “misleading photographs” depicting packed crowds along the shores.
