On June 15th, 2020, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld a ruling in a historic decision that could have far-reaching implications for the future of the country. The ruling, which was issued by the court in a 5-4 decision, upheld a lower court’s ruling that the Trump administration’s attempt to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was unlawful.
The DACA program, which was created by the Obama administration in 2012, allows certain undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children to remain in the country and work without fear of deportation. The Trump administration had attempted to end the program in 2017, but the move was challenged in court by a coalition of states and civil rights groups.
The Supreme Court’s ruling is a major victory for the hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients, known as “Dreamers,” who have been living in limbo since the Trump administration’s attempt to end the program. The ruling also sets a precedent for future cases involving the executive branch’s attempts to end programs without proper justification.
The ruling is also a major setback for the Trump administration, which has been attempting to limit immigration to the United States since taking office. The ruling could also have implications for the upcoming presidential election, as it could energize the Latino vote in favor of the Democratic candidate.
