On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge John Bates issued an obscure ruling to save the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program because the President Trump administration’s claim the President Barack Obama-era policy was unlawful was “virtually unexplained.”

In other words, Bates did not feel the reasoning behind the administration’s decision to end DACA was adequate. It was acceptable for Obama to implement DACA via executive order, but now it’s apparently unacceptable for Trump to rescind it.
