The acting Attorney General Sally Yates has told Justice Department lawyers not to make legal arguments defending President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration and refugees, according to sources familiar with the order.
Yates, an Obama appointee who is serving until Trump attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions is confirmed, does not believe the substance of the order is lawful, according to the sources.
Her order is enforced only until she leaves office.
Currently, there are cases filed in at least five states including Virginia, New York, Massachusetts, Washington and California that are challenging Trump’s order.

Trump Fires Acting Attorney General After She Declines to Defend Travel Ban
Yeah! Now THAT’LL make the chump cheerleading squad celebrate, because she’s gone and she was the oblammy appointee but THIS is the OTHER new ahole’s appointee so it MMMUST be better for US and will give US what we deserve!
Truth be told, you DO deserve it if you applaud the change of the face of tyranny.
Do you trump-et blowers realize YET that it’s purely theatre? You have one way to change things and it’s a matter of boxes. If you’re dumb enough to believe in the ballot box, you’ll probably be led by your snoot into a hot one against American Nationals that aren’t so gullible. Think.
This removal of Yates does not set a precedent. All cabinet heads serve at the President’s pleasure. Disagree with the President? Sally forth into the private sector, you left-wing, commie POS!
