President Donald Trump relieved acting Attorney General Sally Yates of her duties Monday night after she directed Justice Department attorneys not to defend Trump's controversial executive refugee and immigration ban.
Yates, a holdover from the Obama Administration, was replaced as acting attorney general by Dana Boente, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Yates had "betrayed the Justice Department" by refusing to enforce Trump's order, which temporarily halted the entire U.S. refugee program and banned all entries from seven Muslim-majority nations for 90 days.

Relieved of duties is not necessarily fired.

Firing usually involves an escort. Everything is gone except for personal effects.
An empty Pampers box should suffice.

I think she did. This act was probably just to set herself up as a leftist champion for her next gig.

Dude looks like that transitional, castrated pseudo-male who clutched his pearls while his wife got them both kicked off the airplane last week.
