Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, fired by President Donald Trump, has told others she refused to enforce his executive order on refugees because she felt it was intended to disadvantage Muslims, according to a person familiar with her thinking.
Yates knew that her firing was likely, but she did not want to resign and leave the problem unresolved for another lawyer to deal with, according to the person, who is familiar with the situation but was not authorized to discuss it by name. The person spoke about Yates to The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Trump fired Yates Monday night in an abrupt move that has sent a clear message to his future Cabinet about his tolerance for public dissent.
The president will soon have in place like-minded political appointees, not officials inherited from the Obama administration like Yates, who refused to allow the Justice Department to defend his immigration orders in court. And the Trump appointees surely will be less inclined to publicly disagree with him. …

Cubans apparently don’t matter so much to her. Potential Republicans, perhaps.
Former acting attorney general.
cough , they’re not Americans
But probably not at all troubled that muslims are religiously obligated to see sharia replace the Constitution.
And to kill all unbelievers.
So this dipwad got herself fired, leaving the problem unresolved for another lawyer to deal with. Well, another lawyer dealt with it very nicely.
"Yes, sir!"
Like Obama was good with dissent! These people really are evil.
She refused to do her job because she decided her emotions are more important ... it's good that she was fired!
It was important to her to leave it behind.
Yates is a piece of political garbage.
Yes, Cubans do usually vote for the GOP, which said she doesn’t want.
Seems like every lefty is begging to fellate Muslims even if it means getting their head sawn off with a rusty scimitar. WTF is wrong with them?!?
Trump is somehow evil, but the people who practice the most violent and abusive religion on the planet today are somehow in need of protection??? I’ll never understand the left.
Suck it up, Buttercup. Commander-In-Chief means exactly what it says.
B.S.!!! She didn’t say a word when Barky did the same order than President Trump just did, she didn’t say anything when Barky turned away a boat load of Cubans before he left office...
She is nothing but a ‘brat that is stomping her feet because she thought that someone would back her up and didn’t’...you don’t mess around when President Trump gives a directive, I don’t care who you are, you are fired!!!
If it “troubles” her, maybe she should go see a gynecologist for a little mental health help.
Yet they go all out for things that are harmful to Christians. Has she read sections of the koran to see what they believe? she probably has read sura 9.5 and how it commands muslims to treat non-muslims. I can see how the left would side with followers of allah the great deceiver.
Sally Yates is a traitor to the United States of America.
I would question her legal prowess and ability. Seems pretty dumb for a lawyer. Is it that easy to become one?
That is a BS reason. If she had problems with it she could have spoken with the White House counsel. Her actions were pure politics and nothing else. In addition to not doing her job, she is a liar.
Can anyone tell me why liberals love muslims but hate Christians?
