DACA ruling

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump says he'll renew his effort to end legal protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the United States as children.

Trump denounced the high court's ruling Thursday that the administration improperly ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in 2017.

Splitting with Trump and judicial conservatives, Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court's four liberal justices in the 5-4 vote.

Through executive action, Trump could still take away the ability for 650,000 young immigrants to live and work legally in the U.S.

But with no legislative answer in Congress in sight, uncertainty continues for many immigrants who know of no other home except America.
