President Trump replaced acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates late Monday evening, hours after she criticized his executive order onimmigration.
The White House announced the unusual move in a scathing statement, calling Yates "weak on borders and very weak on illegalimmigration." Yates had been appointed deputy attorney general by former President Obama last January.
"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.
Yates had directed the Justice Department earlier Monday not to defend the executive order, which halted immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries and suspended the United States' admittance of refugees for 120 days.

Great job Mr President !

Don't mess with the Trump!
joe
can you post the petition online to Allow trump into the UK its online to counter the idiots nit wanting him.
Get RID of ALL obama skells asap.
While I agree with her being gone, the fact is that she was the only person that could sign international warrants. Not sure that is keeping us safer, but Trump better get a real AG with powers in place quickly.
The Senate needs to move the Sessions vote to the top of the priority list and put him in immediately.
No more obstruction. No more BS.
Good job, President Trump!
NOW whatcha gonna do Dems? Protests and now testing a political Guinea and what takes place? SMACK went the fly swatter!! YOU"RE FIRED!
Come on Dems, need all hands on deck to Make America Great Again!!! Either you are with us, or in 2 years...well, you'll be doing something else and NOT in CONGRESS!!
This is the start of a dictatorship. We'll be the one's saying we told you so when he goes too far
Right thing to do POTUS - she wasnt doing her job plain and simple
Most government officials will be obstructionists and going to take a while to drain the swamp but the president will.
8:52 he is using our constitution that's been the law of the land for over 200 years. You might want to do a little reading.

We had 8 years of a Dictatorship under Obama you weak Moron so shut the Hell up before someone slaps you into another decade!
Drain the Swamp!! Trump gave her a chance and now she is Unemployed. Glad she is GONE!
This is getting good! Do your job or get fired. It's not a new concept, 8:52. This is how all successful businesses work. Trump told you so and so did half of the Country, so get in, sit down and shut up. You're either on the Trump Train, or you're not!
I am loving it!! What you gonna do now Dems? Go ahead punk, make my day!! AND, your fired!!
Lock her up too, she violated her oath of office!
GOOD JO B !! YOU are FIRED !!! see ya
do not call trumps bluff. You will pay the price. Lets see if the sanctuary cities play ball the easy way or go down fighting. Cut them off. Illegal is illegal.
Show Em Who's Boss !!! Finally some Backbone and Balls !
Tryout on the Apprentis !!
9:39 Are you really that dumb? The replacement cannot sign international warrants. Do some research or read more than one article. i'm a republican and registered voter in a red state.
Thank You Mr. President Trump! Sally Yates has Failed Numerous times. Message to the rest of the Swamp - If you can't do your job, expect to be Fired. Get on the Trump Train or get steamrolled or fired.
