The Supreme Court has finally ruled on United States v. Texas, a critical immigration case that has real-life consequences for Americans across the political spectrum.
In a 4-4 stalemate, the Supreme Court did not approve Obama's executive action laws, also known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA), which would protect undocumented immigrants from deportation.
The case will move down to the lower courts, but in the meantime, the current plan still stands.

Since 2012, Homeland Security and the federal government have attempted to use DACA and DAPA to stop the deportations of children who came to the United States as illegal immigrants as well as their parents.
It also allows those children — sometimes referred to as DREAMERS — and their parents to receive work visas. However, legal holdups have prevented the executive orders from going into effect.
Texas, and several other states, have challenged whether the Obama administration has the power to enact such laws. They are arguing that the federal government does not have the power to enact federal law that steps on the state's power to deport undocumented immigrants.
Here are five facts you should know about this landmark case.
