Yates stood her ground on Monday when she said that the Justice department would not defend the order against court challenges, because she did not believe it would be"consistent with this institution's solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right:
After hours of her comment, Sally Yates was fired in what the House House believes is a political move, and said Yates "has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States"
