Trump fires Sally Yates after acting US attorney general contradicted travel ban - Burnett - Jan 31, 2017
White House says Obama appointee ‘betrayed’ state department with letter instructing officials not to enforce president’s executive order
Donald Trump has fired the acting US attorney general after she told justice department lawyers not to defend his executive order banning entry for people from seven Muslim-majority countries.
The White House said on Monday that Sally Yates had “betrayed” the department by refusing to enforce a legal order that was “designed to protect the citizens of the United States”.
How war on Islam became central to the Trump doctri
Trump drafted in Dana Boente, US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia, to replace Yates as acting attorney general. The president’s official appointee, anti-immigration hardliner Senator Jeff Sessions, is yet to be confirmed by the Senate.
As the country’s top law enforcement official, Yates, who was appointed by Barack Obama, had control over the justice department’s immigration litigation office, which has handled the federal complaints filed against Trump’s order since his bombshell policy was announced on Friday.

Well I mean, to be fair, if she wasn't doing her job and directly disobeying higher authorities then it's understandable. Have a quiet grumble by all means over the injustice, but at the end of the day when she's on duty she's there to serve the state and therefore Trump.
#NotMyPresident only works socially, not economically or politically.

No it's called the Executive branch, any president can do this.
How is firing someone under you who doesn't listen a bad thing?

I mean she set herself up for that one. She should've just resigned and stated the reasons after.
