President Donald Trump's administration on Tuesday said it's appealing a Maryland federal judge's ruling blocking the president's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship for people whose parents are not legally in the country.

U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued the injunction at a hearing on a lawsuit brought by civil rights groups arguing that Trump’s order is unconstitutional.
