Tech world reacts positively to Supreme Court’s DCDA decision

Tech giants including Apple, Amazon and Google have cheered the Supreme Court's decision to deny the Trump administration's efforts to end the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The Supreme Court on Thursday, ruled against the Trump administration’s effort to end the Obama-era program that offers legal protections to young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children.

The court ruled that the administration's decision to rescind the DACA program violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), which sets out rulemaking procedures for federal agencies.

After the decision was out, techies took to social media to express their gratitude and their views on the same.

Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted the company is "glad" for the court ruling, adding Apple "will keep fighting until DACA’s protections are permanent."

Cook, who recently announced a $100 million commitment towards ending racial injustice and inequality, has a working relationship with Trump on certain issues, such as tax reform, something Apple employees have lauded.

However, the two have been at odds over certain issues, chief among them, immigration reform.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai also tweeted his sentiments, noting that the decision, which was split 5-4, was a "victory for us all."

Like Cook, Pichai also recently announced a series of actions towards ending racial injustice and inequality, including a "$175 million + economic opportunity package to support Black business owners, startup founders, job seekers and developers."

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos did not specifically tweet about the decision, but the company's official Twitter account applauded the move.

"Amazon applauds the Supreme Court's decision to protect DACA," the company wrote on the platform. "DREAMers are critical to America’s family & economy, & we are grateful for those who've helped us create & innovate. We'll continue to push for laws that honour their contributions & allow a path to citizenship."

"Do you get the impression that the Supreme Court doesn’t like me?," President Trump tweeted, in response to the decision.

"As President of the United States, I am asking for a legal solution on DACA, not a political one, consistent with the rule of law. The Supreme Court is not willing to give us one, so now we have to start this process all over again," he added, in a subsequent tweet.
