Donald Trump's administration has appealed a federal judge's order that blocked the US president's ban on travellers from seven Muslim-majority nations.

The Justice Department's appeal on Saturday comes one day after a US district judge filed a nationwide order halting the ban's implementation. Since then, the Department of Homeland Security has reverted to the standard, previously employed, procedure in admitting people from the affected countries.

The Department of Justice declined to comment on the appeal "beyond the filing at this time", in an email to AFP.
