WASHINGTON — The Su-preme Court ruled Thursday thatthe Trump administration maynot immediately proceed with itsplan to end a program protectingabout 700,000 young immigrantsknown as Dreamers from depor-tation, dealing a surprising set-back to one of President Trump’scentral campaign promises.
Chief Justice John G. RobertsJr. wrote the majority opinion,joined by the court’s four more lib-eral members in upholding the ex-ecutive action by PresidentBarack Obama that establishedthe program, Deferred Action forChildhood Arrivals, or DACA. Butthe chief justice made clear thatthe decision was based on pro-cedural issues and that the Trumpadministration could try to re-dress them.
“We do not decide whetherDACA or its rescission are soundpolicies,” the chief justice wrote.“We address only whether theagency complied with the pro-cedural requirement that it pro-vide a reasoned explanation for itsaction.”
Still, the decision was the sec-ond this week in which the courtreached a result in a major casethat elated liberals. On Monday, itruled that L.G.B.T. workers wereprotected by a landmark civilrights law. Chief Justice Robertswas in the majority in that deci-sion, too.
Mr. Trump responded with anangry attack on the court.
“These horrible & politicallycharged decisions coming out ofthe Supreme Court are shotgunblasts into the face of people that
are proud to call themselves Re-publicans or Conservatives,” hewrote on Twitter. And he madeclear that he would make the com-position of the court a campaignissue, as he did in 2016.
The court’s decision was provi-sional, and it did not remove theuncertainty that young immi-grants have lived with — includ-ing the possibility of being forciblyreturned to countries many ofthem cannot even remember —since they arrived in the UnitedStates as children. The DACA pro-gram itself provided only a renew-able two-year deferral of possibledeportation, with no pathway tocitizenship.
“Today’s decision allowsDreamers to breathe a temporarysigh of relief,” said Stephen Yale-Loehr, a law professor at Cornell.
But young immigrants saidthey were surprised and delightedthat the court had ruled in their fa-vor.

Three sisters from three differ-ent boroughs shared the samebench on the Coney Island board-walk and toasted with cups of beer— together again at last. Teen-agers with baseball gloves and abat sneaked through a hole in afence at a closed-off diamond. Amanager at a Brooklyn clothingstore insisted to a reporter that no,they’re not open, since that’s notallowed, even as customersbrowsed inside.
Officially, New York City is stillin Phase 1 of the long reopeningprocess, a land of curbside pick-ups and closed playgrounds andtakeout cocktails that aren’t sup-
posed to be consumed in public.On Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasiosaid the city would enter the sec-ond phase next Monday.
But anyone stepping outside ortaking a glance at social mediahas noticed a population alreadyso far along on the journey to nor-malcy that they could be living in adifferent place.
New Yorkers who once duckedfor cover at the sound of a cough a
block away are stretching boththeir comfort levels and the rules,venturing out to lay claim to theparts of their lives they haven’tknown since March. And they aremet by bars and businessesstarved for income and doingtheir own feats of stretching — oftheir necks, as they look the otherway as customers gather at un-comfortably close quarters.
New York, the early epicenterof the coronavirus in the UnitedStates, is being observed as a ba-rometer of recovery around thecountry, its slow-and-steady ap-proach helping bring the numberof daily deaths to just 19 on Tues-day from a high of 799 on April 8.But new surges of the virus in

ATLANTA — From beginningto end, the encounter betweenRayshard Brooks and two Atlantapolice officers lasted 41 minutesand 17 seconds. For the first 40minutes, it looked like a textbookexample of policing.
The officers treated Mr. Brooks,27, with respect. They were cor-dial as they asked about his nightand how much he had had todrink. They calmly guided himthrough a series of sobriety tests.
Then things went dangerouslyawry, and Mr. Brooks became yetanother African-American man todie at the hands of the police.
The encounter — veering fromcalm to fatal and captured on vid-eo from multiple angles — has be-come the subject of intense scru-tiny. There is vigorous debate overa host of decisions, big and small,that the two officers made last Fri-day night in a Wendy’s parking lot,where Mr. Brooks had fallenasleep in the driver’s seat in thedrive-through lane.
“It’s at the point where the offi-cer places his hands on him thatthings go south in a fraction of asecond,” said Kalfani Ture, an as-sistant professor of criminal jus-tice at Quinnipiac University whosaid he had viewed the videofootage more than three dozentimes. “So you have to pay atten-tion to the minutiae of details —you have to try to understand de-

Throughout the past severalweeks, as protests over the killingof George Floyd rippled throughAmerica’s cities, a 79-year-old re-tired schoolteacher has spent herdays watching the news in herhome in Albany, Ga., sometimeswith tears running down her face.
For Rutha Mae Harris, whoonce marched and was jailed withthe Rev. Dr. Martin Luther KingJr., it is like revisiting her past.
There have been times whenshe wondered what her genera-tion had achieved. But the pastweeks — particularly the sight of
kneeling police officers andthrongs of white faces — have of-fered some redemption.
“I love it, I love it, I love it,” shesaid. “It has surprised me, and itgives me hope. I thought what Ihad done was in vain.”
For the dwindling cadre of civilrights activists like Ms. Harriswho took to the streets 60 yearsago, this is a moment of trepida-tion and wonder.
Their activism gave the worldimages — the snarling police dogsof Birmingham, Ala., the beatingsof Selma, Ala. — that changed thetrajectory of race in America. Nowthey are watching another move-ment unfold, familiar but utterly
changed.Dr. King surrounded himself
with a variety of thinkers, and inrecent weeks, his allies took differ-ent views of the Floyd protests.
But they all marveled at theirquicksilver spread. In their time,major actions were the result ofmonths of planning, punctuatedby all-night arguments over strat-
egy and phone-tree lobbying toget reporters to show up. Fiveyears passed between EmmettTill’s lynching and the Greens-boro, N.C., sit-ins. Another yearpassed between the sit-ins and theFreedom Rides.
“A movement is different from ademonstration,” said TaylorBranch, a historian of the civilrights era.
“It’s not automatic — it’s the op-posite of automatic,” he said, “thata demonstration in the street isgoing to lead to a movement thatengages enough people, and has aclear enough goal that it has achance to become institutional-

WASHINGTON — As nationalsecurity officials and some tradeadvisers in the Trump adminis-tration tried crafting get-tough-on-China policies to addresswhat they viewed as America’sgreatest foreign policy challenge,they ran into opposition from anunexpected quarter.
President Trump himself wasundermining their work.
That has been the underlyingtension of the last three and ahalf years, laid out in blunt lan-guage in the new memoir byJohn R. Bolton, Mr. Trump’sformer national security adviser.The book supports what adminis-tration officials have said ininterviews and private discus-sions since 2017, and what, inmany ways, had been out in theopen in Mr. Trump’s fawningstatements about China’s au-thoritarian leader, Xi Jinping.
Taken together, the accountsreveal that there has been nocoherent China policy, despiteefforts early in the administra-tion by senior aides to frameforeign policy around what theylabeled “great power competi-tion,” outlined in their own na-tional security strategy docu-ment.
Administration players onChina have been divided byfactional feuding and irreconcil-able policy goals, with security

One day in the summer of2018, John R. Bolton commiser-ated with John F. Kelly over theburdens of working for PresidentTrump. Mr. Kelly, then the WhiteHouse chief of staff, had just hadanother argument with the presi-dent in trying to stop him fromusing the power of his office topunish a political foe. It did notgo well.
“Has there ever been a presi-dency like this?” Mr. Kelly askedplaintively.
“I assured him there had not,”Mr. Bolton recalls in his newbook.
That is self-evidently true andyet it bears repeating every oncein a while. After more than threeyears of the Trump presidency, ithas become easy to forget attimes just how out of the ordi-nary it really is. The normaliza-tion of Mr. Trump’s norm-bust-ing, line-crossing, envelope-pushing administration hasmeant that what was once shock-ing now seems like just anotherday.
Which is why Mr. Bolton’sdamning book stands out evenamong the proliferation of vol-umes about this president. In 494pages, the former national secu-rity adviser becomes the firstperson with daily access to Mr.Trump’s Oval Office to catalogthe various ways that he hasseized the presidency to suit his
