Implementing President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration involved an inner-office power struggle between Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and White House senior adviser Stephen Bannon, The Washington Post reported.
Kelly favored a waiver for green card holders but last Saturday night, while protesters raged at the nation's airports, Bannon went to Kelly's office to order him to cancel the waiver, the Post's Josh Rogin reported.
The retired Marine Corps general, however, told Bannon that his orders come from Trump; as the former Breitbart chief was not part of his chain of command, and refused his orders.
As it turned out, Trump didn't order Kelly to hold off on the order, reports The Post, and it ended up being issued late that Saturday night and announced on Sunday.
