Trump Rips Supreme Court Ruling That Saves DACA: 'Shotgun Blasts Into The Face'

President Donald Trump on Thursday tore into a Supreme Court ruling that blocks his administrations attempt to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.

These horrible & politically charged decisions coming out of the Supreme Court are shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call themselves Republicans or Conservatives, the president tweeted. We need more Justices or we will lose our 2nd. Amendment & everything else. Vote Trump 2020!

Later Thursday, Trump called the ruling highly political and said that he would ask for a legal solution on DACA.

The Supreme Court is not willing to give us one, so now we have to start this process all over again, he tweeted .

DACA, implemented under President Barack Obama , allows undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, often called Dreamers, to live and work in the country without fear of deportation. There are nearly 650,000 Dreamers nationwide.

The court ruled 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts siding with the courts four liberal justices, that the Trump administration wrongly ended DACA. The majority called the decision to terminate the program an arbitrary and capricious violation of the law.

Trumps tweet appeared to also refer to the Supreme Courts landmark decision Monday that protects LGBTQ employees from being discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Do you get the impression that the Supreme Court doesnt like me? Trump tweeted after the DACA ruling Thursday.

He also shared a tweet by conservative news website The Daily Caller that featured Justice Clarence Thomas dissenting opinion.

In his dissent, Thomas called the DACA ruling an effort to avoid a politically controversial but legally correct decision.
