President Donald Trump's administration is appealing a Hawaii federal judge's latest ruling blocking his revised travel ban.
Government lawyers appealed on Thursday to the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals. It comes a day after US District Judge Derrick Watson issued a longer-lasting hold on key provisions of Trump's executive order.
The government says in court documents that the appeal also applies to a temporary order that Watson previously issued that halted the suspension of new visas for people from six Muslim-majority countries and a freeze on the US refugee program.
Hawaii Attorney General Douglas Chin says he expected the government to appeal.
