The Justice Department is suing the state of Maine after it refused to comply with a Trump administration order banning trans athletes in school sports. This is Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Attorney General Pam Bondi: “The state of Maine is discriminating against women by failing to protect women in women’s sports. … We are seeking to have the titles returned to the young women who rightfully won these sports. And we are also considering whether to retroactively pull all the funding that they have received, for not complying in the past.”

Maine Governor Janet Mills responded in a statement, “this is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a President can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law that governs our nation. I believe he cannot.”
