So it wasn't an actual SCOTUS ruling, it was an action that let lower court rulings stand. I can't remember the specific cases though.

the lower courts ruled to let them stand and the SC refused to review them further.

Yet.

We are pleased with DACA and Title VII. Let's hope we don't end up in despair with these two cases.

The court refused to hear a case challenging a California law that allows local governments to declare themselves sanctuaries and prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal agents enforcing immigration laws.
