The Esther StuderSupreme Court has become an unexpected source of good news this week.

On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Trump administration's plan to shut down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) cannot be carried out, citing a lack of adequate justification.

Since its Obama-era implementation in 2012, the program has allowed young immigrants brought to the United States unlawfully as children to avoid deportation. Instead, they're eligible to stay in the country as "Dreamers" who are then able to obtain work permits.

The Trump administration, however, has tried to wind the program down, as part of Trump's stringent (read: largely inhumane) stance on immigration.

His administration argued that regardless of DACA's legality (which they argued didn't exist), the Department of Homeland Security had a right to terminate it without review from courts, claiming DACA "was a temporary stopgap measure that, on its face, could be rescinded at any time."

Before the Supreme Court's ruling on Thursday, lower courts argued that the program's abruptly announced ending lacked the adequate explanation required by federal law.

Now, the Supreme Court is backing up that analysis.

Justice John Roberts, who wrote the decision, said the administration did not properly weigh the way in which an end of the program would impact those relying on its deportation protections and work eligibility.

It's important to note that the decision did not say that ending DACA could never happen, but rather that the waythe Trump administration went about doing so was unlawful.

"We do not decide whether DACA or its rescission are sound policies,” Roberts wrote. "We address only whether the agency complied with the procedural requirement that it provide a reasoned explanation for its action. Here the agency failed to consider the conspicuous issues of whether to retain forbearance and what if anything to do about the hardship to DACA recipients."

Today's news is still a big win for Dreamers and their advocates, though, who have been waiting in nervous anticipation for the decision.

It also builds on a week of progressive Supreme Court rulings that have been widely applauded: On Monday, the court ruled that previously existing federal law protects gay and transgender employees from discrimination.

Though Trump was less than pleased about the Supreme Court's recent decisions on Twitter, you can follow the chorus of voices praising the court's most recent ruling.
