The United States Supreme Court struck down President Trump's immigration policy Thursday by repealing President Obama's order to steal President Obama's plan to allow minors who infiltrated the United States to remain in its territory.

The top judges argued that the administration did not adequately explain the reason for canceling the plan and did not propose alternative policies. The judges also called the president's decision to insure the "capricious" program.

The decision was passed by a majority of five judges against four who opposed it. The judges were instructed to uphold the court's ruling that "the president's order was arbitrary, misusing the implication not in accordance with existing law."

The ruling is expected to affect the future of more than 700,000 young people who arrived in the United States as minors without proper permits and documents. However, it does not prevent the president from repealing the plan using the usual legislative measures.

The president responded to the remarks, saying the Supreme Court decision was "terrible." In a Facebook tweet referring to the ruling, the president wrote: "The horrible and politically charged decision coming from the Supreme Court is a multi-faceted shooting of people who are proud to call themselves conservatives or Republicans. We need more justice or we will lose the Second Amendment to the Constitution."

Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has fiercely attacked the president today, claiming he is not ethically fit to run the country. "President Trump, obviously, is not intellectually ready to be president of the United States," Pelosi said.
