U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said his administration will appeal the decision by a judge to temporarily block an executive order restricting birthright citizenship.
"Obviously we will appeal it," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when asked about the ruling by Washington state District Judge John Coughenour, who said the president's order was "blatantly unconstitutional."
