Will ‘Dreamers’ remain protected in the US?

Supreme Court blocks US President Trump’s attempt to roll back protection for children of undocumented immigrants.

They are known as “Dreamers”: the children of undocumented immigrants who sought a better life in the United States – and their American dream is safe, for now.

The Supreme Court has blocked US President Donald Trump’s attempt to end a programme that protects them from deportation.

The justices said Trump’s administration did not follow proper legal procedure.

It was the second Supreme Court ruling against the president this week, prompting an angry response from Trump on Twitter.

Will the president try again to reverse the policy, known as DACA, and how will the ruling shape the election just five months away?
