Bondi to discuss actions against Maine over Title IX, trans athlete dispute

() Attorney General Pam Bondi will lay out steps her Justice Department intends to take against the state of Maine after its government wouldn’t comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order barring trans athletes in womens and girls sports.

Trump said any state that allows trans athletes to compete against girls and women are violating Title IX, which governs equal treatment of students based on gender. A state or institution that defies his order is at risk of funding cuts.

Maine Gov. Janet Mills, D, says her state’s law prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity supersedes Trump’s executive order, and told the president at a February luncheon they’d see each other in court over it.

The administration has already frozen millions of dollars in funds for Maine nutrition programs. A federal judge ordered them reinstated while the state sues.
