The White House has filed an appeal to a federal judge’s ruling, which blocks the president’s new asylum policy. According to court documents filed Wednesday, the Trump administration told the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals it plans to appeal the December ruling.

The U.S. district judge initially stopped the asylum order, saying it violated current immigration laws.

The order prevented people from claiming asylum based on domestic or gang violence when they report to immigration officials. The policy also stopped people from being able to claim asylum if they crossed into the U.S. illegally.
