The new acting US attorney general says he backs President Donald
Trump’s executive order to ban people from seven Muslim-majority
countries from entering the United States. Dana Boente will serve as the
acting attorney general until Trump’s nominee for the post is confirmed
by the Senate. He has replaced Saly Yates, who was fired by Trump for
defying the executive order. Trump signed the order on Friday, sparking
outrage in the US and beyond. On Monday, US police clashed with
protesters in the city of Columbus in Ohio. The protesters were angry at
Trump’s immigration policy.
