President Donald Trump fired acting US Attorney General Sally Yates after she defied him on his controversial executive order on immigrants and refugees, according to a statement White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer issued Monday night.
"The acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States," the statement read in part.
Trump named Dana Boente, a US district attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, to serve in Yates's place until the president's attorney general appointee Jeff Sessions is confirmed.
Earlier Monday, Yates denounced Trump's executive order in a letter to Justice Department lawyers, saying it may not be lawful.
"I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right," Yates said in the letter.

Think about this. 1 more day possibly? Vote on Sessions confirmation.
Open defiance of the boss is career suicide, unless she was promised something really sweet by the Dem supporters.
This will leave a career destroyer black mark on her forever. If Trump is successful, 8 year and possibly Pence after that?
How many bucks could buy this?
I first found this story on ACJ (Atlantic Constitution Journal), but decided that might be on one of Gannett's publications. Looked all over and every article was pure leftist spin. As if they were all tipped off that this would happen. Probably were.
Just like the scam over the people caught in the airport. That was planned for months.
ComDems are capable of any treachery.
“What’s he gonna do? Fire me?”
Now Trump can have some real fun and tell Sessions to investigate this libs actions along with Lynch, Holder, Clinton, et. al. Make her understand what it is like on the other end of the spear.
Come on people. She was begging to get fired and ending up a martyr. It will only mean something if she pays a financial price thru the courts. I’m sure MSNBC will hire her.
What job do you hold?
DAVID BOENTE IS A ******* WHITE MALE!!

This event has been planned and the media is pre-written pure leftist puke.
Sally Quillian Yates is an American lawyer. She served as a United States Attorney and later United States Deputy Attorney General, having been appointed to both positions by President Barack Obama. Wikipedia
Who does this beyotch think she is?
Follow this up by removing the EO on public service unions. That, combined with this firing, should take the fight out of the civil service career SJWs.
Radical feminists:
“How dare that bully fire a girl!!”
/s
Reason you left last job?
Fired for insubordination.
That’s a real attention grabber for a personnel officer.
Where do these hippies get the idea that every person on the earth is born with our constitutional rights?
“Open defiance of the boss is career suicide, unless she was promised something really sweet by the Dem supporters.”
I’m sure she has been promised a cushy job with Holder’s law firm, or an Obamabot special interest group. I’m assuming she was put up to this. She seems to have a very high opinion of herself.
BAM! Ain’t no liberal cockroach safe from the Trump hammahhhh!
As Deputy Attorney General, Ms. Yates oversees day-to-day operations of the Department of Justice.
She and her husband Comer have two children.

She is referred to as Ms. Yates and has a husband and 2 children. What am I missing?
Yep, just more proof that DC bureaucrats are actively working against America.
Oh, Yes!
That's usually the only motivation that these liberals seem to need. They think they do whatever the hell they want because they got a trophy for showing up.
Reality is a stone-cold beyotch.
