U.S. District Judge William Alsup on Tuesday ruled against Donald Trump's decision to rescind DACA, granting a pretrial injunction that bars the administration from carrying out plans to scrap the program, Reuters reports.
The decision comes as Trump on Tuesday held a bipartisan White House meeting on immigration reform, insisting any DACA resolution must also contain funding for a border wall, one of the president's signature campaign promises.
DACA, which was implemented by former president Barack Obama, is a program that allows children who were brought to the United States illegal to received deferred action from deportation.
