Donald Trump’s executive order banning individuals born in seven majority-Muslim countries previously attacked by the U.S. from entering the U.S. even on second passports, a move which has already spurred a reciprocal travel ban on U.S. nationals by Iran, was stayed on Saturday by a federal judge after hundreds of enroute travelers found themselves abruptly detained, tech company employees were unable to re-enter the U.S., and protests erupted at airports nationwide. Attorney General Sally Yates has now been fired and replaced with a temporary White House appointee for refusing to mount a legal defense of the travel ban.
