On Immigration: DACA recipients make America's shared ideals

The Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration's attempt to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an Obama-era program that protects immigrants brought to the US as children from deportation..After Trump came into office, the administration announced the program had been created "without proper authority" & that DACA would be phased out, pointing out that it had "legal and constitutional defects.

Federal courts said the administration had acted arbitrarily when phasing out the program. The courts pointed to the administration's thin justification--reasoning Roberts and the Supreme Court eventually agreed with.

Former President Barack Obama weighed in on the decision on Twitter, writing of DACA recipients: "Today, I'm happy for them, their families, and all of us. We may look different and come from everywhere, but what makes us American are our shared ideals," Obama wrote, noting the program was created eight years ago this week.
