that breaking news right now, a tie vote from the u.s. supreme court that blocks president obama's immigration plan to shield millions of people living in the u.s. illegally from deportation. the justices' one sentence opinion came down about 20 minutes ago. it effectively killed obama's immigration plan for the duration of his presidency. a tie vote sets no national precedent, but leaves in place the ruling by the lower court. in this case, the federal appeals court in new orleans ruled the obama administration did not have the authority to shield immigrants from being deported without approval from congress. there will no doubt be a lot of reaction to the story. of course, stay with nbc10 and the nbc10 app for updates on this breaking news.

and we have more breaking news. the supreme court has upheld the university of texas affirmative action plan. the university considers race among many factors in admitting the last quarter of incoming freshman classes. justice anthony kennedy said in his majority opinion that the texas plan complied with earlier court rulings allowing colleges to take account of race in pursuit of diversity on campus. right now at 11:00, we'll deal with showers in&x parts of our area and a chance of storms later on. a live look at the radar showing where the rain is falling at this moment. parts of delaware and south jersey have the best chance of seeing storms from this latest storm, not exactly a great beach day, as you can see here from the live camera down the shore, cape may. and it's overcast right now in center city. and the cloud cover will keep temperatures down today as we

give you a live look from our campus camera. the rain is putting a damper on a lot of outdoor activities today. we will see breaks from the wet weather as well as we give you a live look outside the kennel beach in the poconos in tannersville. not a lot of people out there, as you can see. chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz is here now with our forecast. hi, glenn. >> hey, vai. a lot of the area is seeing a break right now. there was an area of rain, a pretty large area that went generally south of philadelphia this morning. delaware, and south jersey. starting to see some clearing just to the west, but there are other showers you can see there's a whole lot up in northern pennsylvania. there's another area up in michigan. and some of this is moving in our direction. so we're not done with the shower threat for the day. just in case things have dried out in your area. the severe storm risk, though, has shifted well to the south.

the main area now in southern virginia and north carolina still a slight chance in delaware and extreme south jersey that there could be a strong thunderstorm during the afternoon. and we do expect some thunderstorms to develop. scattered thunderstorms. and the clouds will help keep the temperature down a bit from yesterday. 87 yesterday. don't think we're going to get anywhere close to that today. and the p.a. suburbs, we're going up towards 80 degrees. things start to quiet down later tonight. lehigh valley may actually start to dry out as we go through the afternoon. the lowest chance of getting showers and storms. delaware and south jersey and the jersey shore, with the highest chance once again, you can see the temperatures kept down by some of the cloud cover and the rain. we'll see how quickly things change and if it gets nicer by the weekend in just a few empties. >> see you then, glenn. >> happening now, about a dozen democrats continue to hold a

sit-in on the house floor, demanding votes on gun control measures in the wake of the orlando shooting rampage. we'll give you a live look now from periscope. republicans branded the move a publicity stunt, and summarily adjourned the chamber around 3:15 this morning until after the fourth of july. minority leader nancy pelosi was at the podium. looks like she just stepped away. she did hold a news conference there, and has remained at the sit-in throughout the morning hours. nancy pelosi has. representative john lewis led the democrats in taking over the floor yesterday morning. they said they needed to draw attention to the cause after four gun control bills failed on monday. republicans say the colleagues did nothing but interrupt the business of the house. the house shut off the cameras inside the chambers so the representatives had resorted to using their cell phones and social media to show what's happening. >> and we are a little more than a month away from the start of

the democratic national convention. and here's a live look right now at the wells fargo center in south philadelphia. the site of the convention next month. and where crews are getting the arena ready for the event. this morning, the aclu is talking about the issues that may come up with protesters, and pamela osborne is live in south philadelphia. pam, the organization is suing the city. can you tell us more? >> vai, they are. i just got my hands on a copy of that lawsuit. the aclu is representing a group that says they were denied a permit to march from city hall to the convention, which is going to be at the wells fargo center, on the first day of the dnc. that group, the poor people's economic human rights campaign, spoke out at a press conference just a short time ago. they feel this is their chance to bring to light the issues impacting some of the city's most disadvantaged residents, but their permit to march was denied. the city announced rush hour demonstrations will not be

allowed. now the aclu is asking the federal court to declare the city's restrictions on the march unconstitutional. and they are asking the court to make the city grant a permit for the poor people's economic rights campaign to march just as they did back in 2000. >> silencing people is wrong, period. regardless of what the goal is, i think that there's an effort to create an atmosphere of a festival in philadelphia. and those that are homeless in philadelphia don't feel like going to a festival. >> the poor people's economic human rights campaign represents part of the life of philadelphia that should be as visible. >> and the city has said that protesters will be allowed to demonstrate in fdr park. the aclu feels that falls short. they feel protesters have a right to be where the people are

who will be attending the convention. so that their message gets heard. they're going to ask a judge to expedite their case ahead of the july convention. reporting live in south philadelphia, i'm pamela osborne, nbc10 news. >> pamela, thank you. sky force 10 got new video of a forest fire in the new jersey pine barrens. that's smoke from the fire in the browns mills area on the grounds of joint base mcguire. we got an update from officials there who say the fire is now about 80% contained. they say rain will help with their operation. some homes were evacuated last night, but those people have been able to return. and police are trying to track down two men who attacked a homeless man in south philadelphia. a warning, this video might be disturbing to some of our viewers. authority tell us the homeless man took shelter from a rain storm inside a td bank vestibule on south fifth street.

this was last month. you can see the attackers open the door and pelt the man with rocks. they even shove a shopping cart at him. at one point, the victim was curled up in a ball in the corner and the attackers kept throwing rocks at him. the victim was treated for cuts on his head and neck pain. if you happen to know any information about this crime or recognize these men, you're asked to call police. the philadelphia police officer is in the hospital this morning after a septa bus hit a police cruiser in west philadelphia. this happened on 63rd street. this is exclusive video of that police officer being loaded into the ambulance. the crash pushed the cruiser into a light pole. there were no passengers on the bus, and the driver of the bus was not hurt. philadelphia police are searching for a gunman who shot a bar security guard. authorities say the guard was leaving the bar at front street and wyoming avenue around 2:00 a.m. when he saw the gunman shooting down the block. he fired at that shooter.

he was hit in the leg during a shootout between the two men. police are searching for clues and a car that the gunman had apparently abandoned nearby. >> and one person was hurt and taken to the hospital after this car crashed and overturned in philadelphia overnight. the impact uprooted a tree at dickinson and south carlisle streets in point breeze. the crash woke up the homeowners who told us the tree has been there since he planted it some eight years ago. >> and philadelphia police are searching for a man who robbed a dunkin' donuts over the weekend. they say the robber pretended to be a customer at the store in south 18th street in south philadelphia late sunday night when the cashier opens the register, the man pulls out a gun and demands money. he did get away with some cash. >> congressman chaka fattah will meet with house members today to figure out how soon he will step downfalloing his corruption conviction. fattah submitted his resignation yesterday but said he would stay in office until october 3rd just before his sentencing. house speaker paul ryan wants

him to leave now. on tuesday, a jury found fattah guilty of taking an illegal $1 million loan for a failed mayoral campaign and using taxpayer money to pay it back. despite his conviction, a pastor of his church in fattah's district still points to the good that fattah did. >> he definitely did a lot for the community. he was present, he was available, and he was around for the people. so i'm hoping that things work out all the way around, and that he's on our prayer list. >> if fattah resigns now rather than later, governor tom wolfe would have to call for a special election within ten days of the resignation. and that election would take place 60 days later. time for a check on the roads with nbc10 first alert traffic reporter, jessica boyington. >> we're seeing big delays on the schuylkill expressway. we had rolling work crews headed westbound. they have since clears but we still have delayed in or out of center city. these are around gerard avenue.

you can see congestion in either direction. there's also clean-up from an earlier turned over tractor it was blocking the ramp to route 100 southbound. expect detours throughout the area there. moving to shore, atlantic city, there is an accident heading southbound near the convention center and the right lane is closed there. if you are traveling with expected storms or storms in the surrounding airports, there are delays and gate holds due to the weather for flights departing from philadelphia international airport and some arriving there. some 74 minutes in or out, so check before you go. vai. >> thank you. >> happening now, atlantic city is auctioning off 120 properties. it's a mix of residential and commercial lots. and today's auction started a few minutes ago at the atlantic if you want to check out the properties being auctioned off, click on the nbc10 app and look for the story. >> and we're following breaking developments from baltimore this

morning. that's where a police officer has just been found not guilty in connection with the death of freddie gray. we'll have a live report from baltimore just ahead. and philadelphia first. the day is finally here. we'll get a preview of tonight's nba draft and who the sixers are likely to take with their number one pick this year. >> glenn. >> and i'm tracking the potential for showers and storms for parts of our area later today. but you're probably going to love the weekend. i'll let you know what to expect with my first alert neighborhood forecast just ahead.

we have breaking news in the freddie gray case. the baltimore police officer was found not guilty on all charges in his death. nbc10 national correspondent jay gray is live for us in baltimore. jay, tell us what's happening right now out there. >> reporter: well, vai, i'm sure you can hear the choppers overhead. there's a crowd gathderring outside the courthouse. maybe 20 to 30 protesters at this point. it's been very calm. a call for calm throughout the community from elected officials as well as some civic leaders here who have said, hey, it's important to protest, but we have to keep the protests calm. to this point, that has been the case. found not guilty, acquitted on all seven charges, as you talk about. and this officer, cesar goodson, faced the most serious charges in the freddie gray case. he was the driver of the van and faced second degree murder charges, manslaughter, three of

those, assault, misconduct, reckless abuse. and a judge just ruled that there was not enough evidence for him to be found guilty of any of those charges. he did request a bench trial, not a jury trial here, and it was the judge's decision that the state just didn't reach the level needed for prosecution. i can tell you that police are on hand and more have been called in. we also know that the national guard has been put on stand-by in the state, but i want to stress, again, to this point, everything has been very peaceful downtown. >> appreciate it. stay safe out there, my friend. >> thank you, vai. >> this morning, the midwest is getting hit with more severe weather. people are cleaning up from what's believed to have been a tornado in illinois. the storm rolled through the town of pontiac, yesterday. that's about 90 minutes from chicago. several homes and gas stations

in the area were damaged or destroyed. >> watched the trailer blow over. and that's when i heard screaming and i ran out. >> a sudden burst of hail. it lasted for like maybe three, four seconds. and then dead silence. >> the weather service says it received numerous reports of tornadoes west and southwest of chicago. a crew will survey the areas today to determine exactly how many touched down. >> and severe thunderstorms cause a long delay in the copa america game in chicago. fans saw lightning strikes in the sky over soldier field at halftime, which was only supposed to last about 15 minutes. then the sky opened up, drenching the field. it was more than two hours later when the players got back on the field to play. >> in indiana, wind gusts up to 100 miles per hour knocked down a communications tower. the 180-foot tower fell on a

auto dealership. it narrowly missed a propane dank. the tower is used for ambulance and police communications so crews are moving some of the equipment to a water tower to get the services back up and running. yeah, fortunately, that severe weather moved well south of our area earlier today. we still might get more showers and storms developing this afternoon. it's kind of warm, kind of humid. and fairly cloudy. 77 in philadelphia. 75 in coatesville, 76 in wilmington. the temperature is a good bit cooler than it was at this time yesterday. ten degrees cooler in allentown. six degrees cooler in dover. seven degrees in mt. holly, trenton, atlantic city. we're not getting to 87 degrees today like we did yesterday. although the clouds, that milky white color there, that's kind of moving out, and we're getting

a break here, so we have some sunshine. it will help to push the temperatures to 80 or a little above. but there's the first round of rain. it went well to the south. there's still more back to the west. and that, some of that, is going to be moving this way. not this stuff. that's really heavy. that's going down near norfolk, which has already gotten creamed. but we do have a fair amount of showers back to the north and west. some of that action is going to be headed this way. but the main severe storm risk area has shifted farther to the south now mostly for virginia and west virginia and north carolina. still a slight chance, especially delaware and extreme south jersey for getting some of the strong thunderstorms. those temperatures this afternoon are going to be going into the low 80s. we'll talk more about when we're actually going to get to 90 again and what the weekend is going to be like in a few

minutes. >> all right, thank you, glenn. >> still ahead, a waste of time? the vaccine that's been a popular way to prevent the flu among children for years apparently doesn't work. what experts are now saying about the nasal vaccine known as flu mist.

well, this time tomorrow morning, we'll be telling you ubthe new members of the philadelphia 76ers.

tonight, the team get the first pick in the nba draft. take a look at today's cover of the daily news. that's been simmons. the caption mentioned he said all the right things. he worked out with the sixers on tuesday. yesterday, he was in brooklyn where the draft is tonight. that's where he used the word "we" when he was talking about the 76ers. >> i think, you know, once we stop playing, we'll come together. i had a good feeling when i was working out there, a good vibe. looking forward to it. >> tweeted a picture of the two of you after the workout yesterday. would you feel comfortable going to the 76ers team? you like to run the point forward? >> definitely. we have known each other since high school. we had that bond for a while. you know, we were talking about everything going on and enjoying the time. but you know, i think we definitely play well together. >> and hey, you can't make it in brooklyn, there will be plenty of action tonight in philadelphia to give you a live look at the sold out draft party

happening at the philadelphia museum of art from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. tonight. and certainly a big day for the team and the fans, and our next guest won't forget his draft day. bobby jones is here with us. we thank you for coming in. you were a first round draft pick in 1974. you chose to go to the aba instead. it's been 20 years since the sixers took allen iverson in the first round, first pick. tell me what this -- tell me what draft day is like for the player, and for the organization. >> well, for the player these days it's an exciting time. a culmination of years of work and preparation, how to speak to the media, how to prepare yourself for the public, how to be able to produce athletically what they want on the court. and to be chosenp in one of the two rounds is a dream come true. >> you talk about the pressure of coming in here to philadelphia. talk to us about the pressure. first of all, being the number one pick.

is that different than being a number one pick. i think you were the fiving pick overall, but the number one pick, that's a different pressure, and playing in a city like philadelphia. >> philly is different. when i got traded to philly, the first press conference, i came from denver where they had like five reporters. there was a room of 30 or 40 people. as soon as i put my handkerchief to my forehead, click, click, everybody was taking pictures and the headline was he's on the hot seat, he's in philly. there's expectations, but there's great support, too. that was what i really enjoyed. >> that '83 team, you were part of the championship team in '83. and do you like what you're seeing now, what the organization is putting together, the pieces and parts they're putting together hopefully to bring a championship back to philadelphia? >> yes, i do. i think the people that they're drafting are guys who are committed to playing the game the way it's supposed to be played. and that's important. they're looking for the right pieces, and i think it's going

to -- you know, barring injuries, it should come to together where they should be a much better team and really excite the fans with the product they put on the floor. >> boy, i'm guessing you probably don't envy some of the challenges these guys are facing. we all envy the money they make, but the challenges they face and the kinds of things they have to deal with, like social media, for instance. things you never had to deal with. >> i couldn't play in the city, i'm a recluse. i was thankful to play with guys like julius and moses who were stars. i could slide out the side door and go home and enjoy my family. today, everybody has to pay their dues to the media, and it's tough. of course, you have a job to play sports, too. so that's something that is a challenge for these guys. >> for my money, the best sixth man ever in the nba, bobby jones. what a pleasure to meet you and have you here this morning. you can count on nbc10's coverage of tonight's nba draft.

john will be live in brooklyn for all the action and the announcement. >> and we continue to follow breaking news in the nation's highest court. what a tie vote announced this morning means for president obama's immigration plan. we'll tell you more about that. plus, like pennies from heaven, ducklings falling from the sky? a great catch caught on camera that saved this tiny family from danger.

we have been following breaking news from the supreme court this morning. a tie vote by the justices blocks president obama's immigration plan. it would have shielded millions of people living in the u.s. illegally from deportation. a tie vote sets no national precedent but leaves in place the ruling by the lower court. in this case, the federal appeals court in new orleans

ruled the obama administration did not have the authority to shield immigrants from being deported without approval from congress. president obama is expected to give a statement about the ruling in about 15 minutes at 11:45, and when he does, we'll bring that to you live. >> and the supreme court also upheld the university of texas's affirmative action plan. the university considers race among many factors in admitting the last quarter of incoming freshman classes. justice anthony kennedy said in his majority opinion the texas plan complied with rulings that take race into account in pursuit of diversity on campus. so we switch gears here. rain is falling in parts of our area. there's a chance for storms later on, as we give you a live look at the first alert radar showing where the showers are falling at this moment. the philadelphia area should see some breaks in the rain today,

as we show you the ben franklin bridge live. skies are cloudy in montgomery county this morning. this is what it looks like just a few hours ago along lancaster avenue. glenn "hurricane" schwartz is here with a forecast and giving you what it looks like neighborhood by neighborhood. >> yeah, vai, we are getting one of those breaks. and we perhaps have a few hours of that. certainly not raining all afternoon. the temperature, 77 degrees. still with cloudy skies in philadelphia, but we have partly sunny skies in the lehigh valley, up to 72. the p.a. suburbs. 75. parts of delaware, 76 degrees. so a little bit of sunshine to push temperatures up near 80 degrees. in the philadelphia area, we have 77 at the airport, but 81 at parkside and west mt. airy. 79 at fox chase. so we already have some temperatures getting up to 80. that's because the milky white

clouds starting to move out, and we're getting a little bit of sunshine. but there's some moisture that's going to be moving its way. you can see some showers. they're north and west of harrisburg, but it gives you an idea the atmosphere is still fairly moist and there's more back around michigan, and that could affect us later tonight. here we are for this afternoon. chance of showers and storms scattered around. we're not talking about a steady rain here. temperatures getting up to around 80 or the low 80s. and then knocked down of course by any kind of showers. in the suburbs, temperatures once again up near 80 degrees. less of a chance of the showers in the lehigh valley. and as we go through the night tonight, there's a fair amount of humidity, at least for now. and then some more showers and storms in south jersey. we'll see when that's going to move out and what the weekend is looking like in a few minutes. see you then, glenn. we're more than a month away from the sthart of the

democratic national convention, as we give you a live look at the wells fargo center, the site of the convention. and where crews are already getting the arena ready for the event. this morning, the aclu is talking about issues that may come up with protesters, and nbc10's pamela osborne is live for us in south philadelphia. pamela, the aclu is suing the city. explain what this is about. >> yeah, so the group that the aclu is representing basically feels like their voice is being taken away. now, as you mention, the aclu is suing the city on behalf of that group who say they were denied a permit to march from city hall to the convention site at the wells fargo center on the first day of the dnc. that group, the poor people's economic human rights campaign, spoke out at a press conference this morning. they felt like marching that route from city hall to the convention would be their best shot to reach the most people and bring to light the issues impacting some of the city's

most disadvantaged residents. but their permit to march was denied. the city announced that rush hour demonstrations will not be allowed. now the aclu is asking the court to declare the city's restrictions unconstitutional and they're asking the court to make the city grant a permit for the poor people's economic human rights campaign to march as they did back in 2000. >> they're preparing to protesters in fdr park in south philadelphia. but let's be frank. most people are not going to be hanging out around fdr park to watch the protests. >> we don't have money for lobbyists. we don't have money for commercials. the only thing that we have is our voice, and the city is spending as much money as possible on making us visibly disappear. >> so what happens next, the aclu is going to be asking a

federal judge some time within the next week to expedite their case ahead of the july convention. report live in south philadelphia, i'm pamela osborne, nbc10 news. >> pamela, thank you. the owners of the pulse nightclub will hold a fund-raising event today to remember the victims of the june 12th shooting massacre. the event at an orlando park will be a latin-themed event, just like the night of the mass shooting that left 49 people dead and more than 50 wounded. money raised would benefit pulse nightclub employees. >> and now to decision 2016. senator bernie sanders will be in new york later today to give a where we go from here speech. officials with the sanders campaign say today's town hall address will not be a concession speech. just yesterday, sanders came as close he has ever come to conceding when he answered a question on whether he'll speak at the convention. >> it doesn't appear i'm going to be the nominee, so i'm not going to be determining the scope of the convention. and you know, as you know, a

couple weeks ago, i had a meeting with secretary clinton. >> how did that go? >> very good. >> the question now is whether sanders endorse hillary clinton and will that endorsement come before the democratic convention next month. although we're not in flu season right now, we have some information you will want to remember this fall. federal experts say the flu mist vaccine should not be used this coming flu season. they say the nasal vaccine hasn't protected kids or adults against the flu for years. flu mist is a popular alative for people who are afraid of getting the flu shot. particularly children. ast zen caw, the parent company says other research says the vaccine is effective. >> a florida man saved more than a dozen ducklings that appeared to be falling from the sky at busch gardens. the man was visiting the park on saturday when something hit its shoulder. turned out to be a duckling that had fallen from a ledge about 30 feet up.

he saw other ducklings falling and sprang into action. someone rolled this cell phone video as the man caught one duckling after another and placed them gently onto the ground. all the ducklings were okay. say yes to the dress. just ahead, the local organization that is giving some very deserving young ladies a chance to dress up and shine. >> glenn. >> you may need your umbrellas today, but your sunglasses this weekend. we'll let you know when the wet weather is going to move through and how long the sunshine behind it is going to last. that's just ahead. ♪

and thunderstorms, most of them have passed by to the south during the overnight hours. you can see this area, tremendous area of lightning. but there are still areas of showers in pennsylvania, all the way up to michigan. so there is moisture on the way. in the short term, we have improving conditions. the white area indicating the thicking clouds. the darker areas indicating mostly sunny skies. so let's take a look at the storm timing, as we go through the afternoon, there we go. it's kind of scattered around. we're not talking about widespread showers and thunderstorms. but this model has given some pretty heavy showers and storms. this is this evening, down into portions of delaware. and extreme south jersey. so most of the area gets missed by this. this is the last area, pretty

much, coming through. maybe an isolated shower tomorrow. and a mix of sun and clouds. but, we got another weekend winner out here. in a lot of places, seeing sunshine. temperatures getting up into the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. especially on sunday. but the humidity is fairly low. the jersey shore, we have a nice sea breeze. and so we've got some really great conditions on the way. tomorrow, a mix of sun and clouds. temperatures may be up a little bit because of the increased sunshine. so 86 in bell avista. 84 in lansdale. 83 in allentown. you don't see raindrops, indicating the chance of rain is pretty low. more like 10% as opposed to 50% chance, let's say, at any one spot during the day today. tomorrow, haddonfield, 82. atlantic city, 79. once again, we have a sea

breeze, weather conditions pretty nice there. 79 in dover. as well. and the ten-day outlook has the showers and storms, at least in parts of the area this afternoon and into the evening. tomorrow, partly sunny. 86. look at that weekend. 88 saturday. 90 with sunshine on sunday. monday, 88 degrees. then a stormier pattern for tuesday and wednesday. it could even start on monday. >> all right. military wives -- actually, we're awaiting an nbc news special report from a statement from president obama on the supreme court immigration decision. >> first, military wives, daughters and other loved ones are getting a chance to shine next week thanked to a great event happening in our area. the uso is helping to host a special operation called operation that's my dress. and here to tell us more, joe brooks, my friend, the president

of liberty uso, and ms. new jersey, jesse lynn. tell us why this event is so important to your organization. >> vai, our job is to take care of local military families. as a father of four and three of the four being teenage girls, prom season was very expensive. probably $1,000 per child. so basic enlisted salary is about $29,000 a year. what this event is going to do is provide free gowns, cocktail dresses, to military spouses and military children, saving them thousands of dollars. >> tell me from their vantage point, these military families, the impact it has on them. >> think about this. military is constantly moving. they're constantly in transition. a military spouse can't get a jaw and remain there long enough to be promoted. as i said, they make next to nothing. so the fact that we're able preserve their discretionary spending, in effect, giving each

military family member $1,000, we're saving that money. >> that's huge. tell us how you'll be involved with the young ladies who will attend this event. >> so what -- i have auctions off my dress a couple years in a row since i first started. they have a lot of usa title holders involved in the modeling, and then the modeling and fashion show, we help either the girls, the service women, or the spouses find their perfect dress. so we're like the stylists with them. we work one-on-one, and we really want to give them that great experience and make their day, pampering. >> joe, you and i have been involved, you have been involved for a long time, i have been for the last few years with the uso events in center city. it's one of the must-see events every year that i get to go do. and see, and so i appreciate our relationship that way. and this is a great thing here. operation that's my dress is happening at the homt. laurel. it happens next week on june

29th and 30th. for more information, go to our website at nm or check out the nbc10 app and we'll have a link for you. thank you very much, and congratulations to you. >> thank you for having us. >> we'll see you in october. >> october 7th. see you then. >> we'll be right back. stay with us.

this is an nbc news special report. here's brian williams. good day and welcome from new york. i'm brian williams. we are on air for remarks from president obama in the white house briefing room in the west wing. on the heels of a court ruling, a 4-4 split of the supreme court on the subject of immigration. while the case now goes back to texas, it is a huge hit for the obama administration. our justice correspondent, pete williams, can explain the case and this ruling here pete. >> so the decision stands for nothing. the supreme court says nothing about the big, did the president have the authority, could the states have the legal authority to sue? basically, the supreme court says we can't decide it. so that leaves in place a lower court order that put a hold on the president's authority to enforce this law. so -- his executive order.

it's a dead letter for the rest of his administration. >> pete, thank yous. here's the president. >> first, in the affirmative action case, i'm pleased that the supreme court upheld the basic notion that diversity is an important value in our society, and that this country should provide a high-quality education to all our young people, regardless of their background. we are not a country that guarantees equal outcomes, but we do strive to provide an equal shot to everybody. and that's what was upheld today. second, one of the reasons why america is such a diverse and inclusive nation is because we're a nation of immigrants. our founders conceived this country as a refuge for the world and for more than two centuries, welcoming wave after wave of immigrants has kept us youthful and dynamic and entrepreneurial, and it has shaped our character and made us stronger. but for more than two decades

not, our immigration system, everybody acknowledges, has been broken. and the fact that the supreme court wasn't able to issue a decision today doesn't just set the system back even further. it takes us further from the country we aspire to be. just to lay out some basic facts that sometimes get lost in what can be an emotional debate, since i took office, we have deployed more border agents and technology to our southern border than ever before. that has helped cut illegal border crossings to their lowest levels since the 1970s. it should have paved the way for comprehensive immigration reform, and in fact, as many of you know, it almost did. nearly 70 democrats and republicans in the came together to pass a smart commonsense bill that would have doubled the border patrol and offered undocumented immigrants a pathway to earned citizenship if they paid a fine, paid their

taxes, and played by the rules. unfortunately, republicans in the house of representatives refused to allow a simple yes or no vote on that bill. so i was left with no choice but to take steps within my existing authority to make our immigration system smarter, fairer, and more just. four years ago, we announced that those who are our lowest priorities for enforcement, diligent, patriotic young dreamers who grew up pledging allegiance to our flag, should be able to apply to work here and study here and pay their taxes here. more than 730,000 lives have been changed as a result. these are students, teachers, doctors. they're lawyers, they're americans in every way but on paper. and fortunately, today's decision does not affect this policy. it does not affect the existing

dreamers. two years ago, we announced a similar expanded approach for others who are also low priorities for enforcement. we said if you have been in america for more than five years, with children who are american citizens or legal residents, then you, too, can come for, get right with the law, and work in this country temporarily without fear of deportation. both were the kinds of actions taken by republican and democratic presidents over the past half century. neither granted anybody a free pass. all they did was focus our enforcement resources, which are necessarily limited, on the highest priorities. convicted criminals, recent border crossers, and threats to our national security. now, as disappointing as it was to be challenged for taking the kind of actions that other administrations have taken, the country was looking to the

supreme court to resolve the important legal questions raised in the case. today, the supreme court was unable to reach a decision. this is part of the consequence of the republican failure so far to give a fair hearing to mr. marerrick garland, my nomto the supreme court. it means that the expanded common sense policies, the ones i announced two years ago, can't go forward until there's a ninth justice on the court to break the tie. i know a lot of people are going to be disappointed today, but it is important to understand what today means. the deferred action policy that has been in place for the last four years is not affected by this rule. enforcement priorities developed by my administration are not affected by this ruling. this means that the people who might have benefitted from the expanded deferred action policies, long-term residents raising children who are

americans or legal residents, they will remain low priorities for enforcement as long as you have not committed a crime or limited immigration enforcement resources are not focused on you. but today's decision is frustrate to those who seek to grow our economy and bring a rationality to our immigration system and to allow people to come out of the shadows and lift this perpetual cloud on them. i think it is heartbreaking for the millions of immigrants who made their lives here, who raised families here, who hoped for the opportunity to work, pay taxes, serve in our military, and more fully contribute to this country we all love in an open way. >> so, where do we go from here? most americans, including business leaders, faith leaders, and law enforcement, democrats and republicans and independents, still agree that

the single best way to solve this problem is by working together to pass commonsense bipartisan immigration reform. that is obviously not going to happen during the remainder of this congress. we don't have a congress that agrees with us on this. nor do we have a congress that is willing to do even its most basic of jobs under the constitution, which is to consider nominations. republicans in congress currently are woefully preventing the supreme court from being fully staffed and functioning as our founders intended, and today's situation underscores the degree to which the court is not able to function the way it's supposed to. the court's inability to reach a decision in this case is a very clear reminder of why it's so important for the supreme court to have a full bench. for more than 40 years, there has been an average of just over two months between a nomination

and a hearing. i nominated judge merrick garland to the supreme court more than three months ago. but most republicans so far refuse to even meet with him. they are allowing partisan politics to jeopardize something as fundamental of the impartiality and integrity of our justice system and america should not it stand. this is an election year. during election years, politicians tend to use the immigration issue to scare people. with words like amnesty in hopes that it will whip up votes. keep in mind theville millions of us, myself included, go back generations in this country, with ancestors put in the painstaking effort to become citizens. we don't like the notion that anyone might get free pass to american citizenship, but here's the thing. millions of people who have come forward and worked to get right with the law under this policy, they have been living here for
