Why do you think that about SCOTUS?

The recent ruling in June 2023 by the U.S. Supreme Court in United States v. Texas, where they ruled 8-1 that States cannot challenge the executive branch's authority to establish immigration enforcement priorities, gives me hope for the program's future.
This decision limits states' ability to sue the federal government on immigration matters. The case involved a lawsuit from Texas and Louisiana questioning the immigration enforcement guidelines set by the Department of Homeland Security.
The court's decision allowed DHS officers more discretion in immigration enforcement decisions. It's important to remember that DACA is based on prosecutorial discretion, and this ruling affirms DHS's right to exercise that discretion.
This ruling is what gives me hope. Take it with a grain of salt though
