Summary

The Supreme Court ruled that Trump can’ t immediately end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA, because his administration’s reasons for ending it are not sufficient. We explain what comes next. 

Today is Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. We discuss the day’s significance and why this year’s Juneteenth feels different than others. 

And in headlines: Seattle’s largest labor group votes to expel the police union, California’s mask law, and a high-tech new ring for the NBA.

Heartwarming. But that is big news. Yeah. In the last 24 hours, the Supreme Court's decision on DACA or deferred action for childhood arrivals took over every

bit of media that we any of us were taking in. It's the executive order from President Obama's administration that President Trump has tried to sabotage at every single turn.
