Former President Barack Obama has praised the Supreme Court ‘s decision to uphold the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) and said that he is happy for young people protected from deportation, according to ABC News.
President Donald Trump has been trying to dismantle it, stating that Obama overstepped his authority, but the Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s action was an “arbitrary” and “capricious” violation of the law.
We may look different and come from everywhere, but what makes us American are our shared ideals…

The former president followed up that Tweet by encouraging voters to elect former Vice President Joe Biden in November.
