Well to me, #1 that the President has discretion and can use it to stop deportations, if they wanted to, and #2 that they are standing behind their initial announcement regarding DOMA and not defending it, even in immigration court.
To me it means that the Obama administration is at least trying to protect Gay and Lesbian bi-national couples and that is a huge step in the right direction. Right now it affects mainly those who are facing deportation but it is a huge sign on behalf of the administration that may affect other bi-national couples who are not necessarily facing deportation or even married, yet.
