Los Angeles, June 18 (EFE / EPA) .- The United States' Supreme Court on Thursday handed a victory to a group of nearly 650,000 undocumented migrants who arrived in the country as children and have been shielded from deportation under a program created in 2012 by then-President Barack Obama.The high court's ruling was a legal defeat for current US President Donald Trump, who has moved to end the so-called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.The decision offers at least temporary relief for DACA recipients, also known as Dreamers because they are potential beneficiaries of a bill - the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act - that has been introduced to Congress in numerous versions over nearly two decades in an effort to provide a path to citizenship for individuals brought to the US unlawfully before the age of 16.In a narrow 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court found that Trump had not followed legally established mechanisms when he attempted to end DACA.
