Hanen's ruling was about a procedural law called the Administrative Procedures Act, and in particular the "notice and comment requirement" — which is the typical procedure for making federal regulations. According to Cecilia Wang, Director of the Immigrant Rights Project for the ACLU, Hanen's ruling said that "if (the government) wanted to do these things it should have provided notice in the Federal Register, with period for comment." But because the Obama administration didn't do that for these actions, the ruling says, it violated the law.

The ruling is not about the constitutionality of the EO but the procedure followed. It says the Obama administration is expected to appeal the rulings. In doing so this issue stays active on the campaign trail which will hurt the GOP, especially Rubio.
