It Is Happening Every Day, Every Where
The Trump administration has been targeting Maine since the president sparred with Gov. Janet Mills over transgender athletes at the White House in February.
The federal lawsuit is the latest escalation of Gov. Janet Mills’s standoff with the Trump administration over the issue of transgender athletes.
The administration concluded last month that Maine had violated federal law by allowing transgender athletes to play on girls’ or women’s teams.
The state’s first female governor and first female district attorney, the longtime Democratic politician has a history of supporting law enforcement.
President Trump asked Gov. Janet Mills if her state would comply with the executive order he signed banning transgender athletes from women’s sports. He didn’t like her answer.
