The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration did not give a sufficient explanation for wanting to end the Deferred Action for Child Arrivals program.
Also known as DACA, the program was created through an executive order from President Obama in 2012 to give legal status to people in the country illegally after coming here as children.
Supporters of the Trump policy were stunned at the court rejecting the president's ability to terminate one executive order with one of his own.
So how should the court's decision be interpreted? Why did the majority rule against the administration? And is the court deliberately deferring decisions on hot-button issues?
