Shortly after the ruling, Trump tweeted that recent liberal victories in the Supreme Court were “shotgun blasts into the face” of Republicans
The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked the White House from terminating an Obama-era program designed to protect young immigrants from deportation.
Chief Justice John Roberts joined the four liberal-leaning justices on the court in a 5-4 ruling finding that the decision to end DACA was “arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act.” The administration can still fight to end the program, but after the Supreme Court ruling, it will be forced to head back to the lower courts. That means the fate of DACA is unlikely to be decided before the November election.
“These horrible & politically charged decisions coming out of the Supreme Court are shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call themselves Republicans or Conservatives. We need more Justices or we will lose our 2nd. Amendment & everything else.
“Eight years ago this week, we protected young people who were raised as part of our American family from deportation,” said Obama in a statement after the ruling. “Today, I’m happy for them, their families, and all of us.
Thursday’s was the second time this week that Roberts sided against the conservative justices, after a Monday ruling that affirmed protections for LGBTQ workers. Gorsuch, Trump’s first Supreme Court appointee, also sided with Roberts and the liberal justices in that decision.
