Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's second full week comes after a chaotic weekend sparked by the executive order temporarily halting immigration from seven Muslim-majority nations. Protesters and lawyers jammed US airports to protest the order and help those who were detained. White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday any US diplomats who don't agree with the order can "either get with the program or they can go."

Dems hold up voting on some of Trump’s Cabinet nominees

Washington (CNN)A handful of President Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees' confirmation votes were postponed Monday, including Treasury Department nominee Steven Mnuchin, Health and Human Services nominee Tom Price and Small Business Administration nominee Linda McMahon.

The Senate Finance Committee will now vote on Mnuchin and Price for their Cabinet nominations at 10 a.m. ET Tuesday. Mnuchin's vote was supposed to take place Monday night, but Democrats delayed the action.

McMahon's hearing was postponed until "further notice," according to a Monday night press release.

Secretary of State Tillerson nomination advances to Senate

Senate Democrats, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have publicized their opposition to several of Trump's Cabinet picks.

The New York Democrat, citing the Trump's controversial travel ban order, announced earlier Monday that he would oppose Mick Mulvaney for Office of Management and Budget, Scott Pruitt for the Environmental Protection Agency, Rex Tillerson for secretary of state, Jeff Sessions for attorney general, Betsy DeVos for the Department of Education and Andrew Puzder for the Department of Labor.

Meanwhile, the Senate voted 56-43 on Monday to end a Democratic filibuster of Trump's nominee for secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, allowing a final confirmation vote for the former ExxonMobil CEO to take place this week.

Despite widespread Democratic opposition, Trump's picks are expected to be confirmed. But the hold up has triggered one awkward situation for the Trump administration: Obama appointee Sally Yates, the acting attorney general, has told Justice Department lawyers not to make legal arguments defending Trump's executive order on immigration and refugees.

(CNN)South Africa's Blitzboks thrashed Olympic champion Fiji 26-5 to win the Wellington Sevens Sunday and extend its lead in the HSBC World Series.

Runner-up twice in the last three years, a rampant South Africa team made no mistake this time after dominating the two-day tournament with 174 points in its six matches and only 22 conceded.

Victory in the final was the second of the weekend over Fiji, having beaten the Pacific Islanders by 31-12 in pool play Saturday.

After three rounds of the series, the Blitzboks hold a 12-point lead on defending champion Fiji, with England in third place.

"Hats off to the guys, we played some phenomenal rugby," captain Philip Snyman told the official HSBC World Sevens website.

His side scored four tries in a one-sided final, with Seabelo Senatla crossing for the second to take him to a team all-time record of 180.

"We have one big happy family and put our bodies on the line for each other," he said.

Ruhan Nel sealed the triumph with two tries as South Africa won its first title in Wellington since 2002.

Scotland claimed the third-place play-off 28-22 over Canada, with both teams surprise semifinalists.

Scotland beat England 14-12 in an all-British quarter final, while host New Zealand, winner at the Westpac Stadium for the past three years, went out at that stage to Fiji.

The Sevens World Series circuit moves to Sydney next week, an event already sold out.
