WHAT DID THE SUPREME COURT DECIDE? The Supreme Court ruled that while the Trump administration has the authority to end the program, it did so improperly. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the four liberal justices in the majority in the 5-4 outcome. (4/7)

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? The administration can try again to end DACA. But experts say that’s not likely to happen before the November election in part because the program has wide, bipartisan support among the American public. (5/7)

WHAT DOES THE RULING MEAN FOR THE DREAMERS? The 650,000 people who are enrolled will keep their protections, which last two years. But the program hasn’t accepted any new applicants in a couple of years, and it’s unclear whether people will now be able to apply. (6/7)

You seem to forget Trump wanted Congress to properly pass DACA legislation to make the program legal and permanent and said he'd sign it. The EO to cancel the prior EO left plenty of time for Congress to do that, with no interruption to the program.

False. Trump was presented DACA for money for his border wall and he said no.

Because he’s trying to make it legal for the dreamers to stay. DACA is still not law.
