WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Roughly 900 U.S. State Department officials signed an internal dissent memo critical of President Donald Trump's travel ban for refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries, a source familiar with the document said on Tuesday.
A senior State Department official confirmed that the memorandum in the department's "dissent channel" had been submitted to management.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on Monday he was aware of the memo but warned career diplomats that they should either "get with the program or they can go."

45,000 of those employees are local foreign nationals, local to the embassy & consulates they work in.
45000 too many? Very likely! They’re translators ,clerks, janitors, cooks, etc. How many actually is needed? Good question!
Necessary but a constant potential security problem no matter what the number.
It’s just bad timing and unlucky for these statie pukes that Atty General Sally took a brave stand—”I’m better than Trump, I won’t do my job!”—just after they put their names to this manifest insubordination.
Trump made it clear to Mustang Sally that he wouldn’t put up with it. Fire them for cause.
Now he knows who to fire.
Trump should follow Obama's precedent when government employees don't follow the law.
Don't fire them. Put them in jail.
Anybody remember the county clerk, in Tennessee I think, that was arrested and jailed over gay marriages licenses?
Of course, NOBODY in the GOP came to her aid. Except Huckabee.
Time for a downsizing of these anti-American fed employees who mostly sit on their fat rear ends and watch porn.
900 less federal employees on the payroll is a good start.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ovomit & or Killery are covertly. ordering & directing these anti-Trump activities.
Does the State Department actually do anything? Constructive I mean? Do we actually need it?
The Trump Administration is totally justified if they fire every single State Department employee who signed the memo.
206 counties * 75 employeeson average = 15,450 employees needed. Fire 1/2 of the State Department.
900 that facilitated the destabilization of the ME?
Making Trump’s swamp-draining job easier.
900 positions that will no longer be funded
Bye Bye. Now we know where some of the swamp critters are.
P.S. It’s NOT a Travel Ban. It’s a pause in issuing credentials to insure uniform and adequate vetting procedures.
It’s also a removal of an Obama waiver - ie full implementation of the law that Congress passed and Obama signed.
FIFY
900 pink slips now!
900 pink slips now!
The swamp is draining itself!
