| 0:00.0 | Good Wednesday morning. I'm Jake Sherman and welcome to your Politico Playbook Audio Briefing, sponsored by DeVita. |
| 0:06.7 | And I'm Anna Palmer. Breaking overnight, a federal judge in San Francisco has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's decision to end the DACA program. |
| 0:16.4 | This only heightens the need for Washington to act in a permanent way to change immigration law legislatively. |
| 0:22.7 | DACA supporters believe this is only a temporary legal victory. They say the administration is within |
| 0:28.2 | their rights to end the program and are still seeking an immediate legislative fix. |
| 0:33.1 | This comes as Trump's negotiation on immigration happened on camera yesterday. President Trump's freewheeling |

| 0:44.2 | There's a lot to unpack here. In some ways, Trump did himself a favor. He brushed aside talk |

| 1:26.4 | they were still split on immigration. This |
| 1:28.7 | meaning was, by no means, a massive dynamic shift. And the work isn't done. House Majority |
| 1:34.3 | Leader Kevin McCarthy, Senator Dick Durbin, Senate Majority Whip John Corny Corny, and House Minority |
| 1:40.3 | Whip, Steny Hoyer, will meet today with administration officials to figure out what |
| 1:45.0 | they might be able to get done. One dynamic to watch is Trump versus House conservatives. Trump's |
