The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Wednesday indicated that it would move to quickly ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the constitutionality of President Donald Trump’s executive order that seeks to terminate birthright citizenship.

In a filing with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle, attorneys for the DOJ told a federal judge about its plans to petition the high court about the order.
