Civil and human rights groups sue over Trump diversity, transgender orders

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison stated that a Minnesota law allows transgender athletes to compete based on their gender identity, overriding President Donald Trump's executive order banning transgender athletes from women's sports.
Ellison concluded that following Trump's order would violate the Minnesota Human Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
A lawsuit has been filed by Lambda Legal and the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund challenging Trump's executive orders on diversity and transgender rights, arguing these will limit critical services.
The lawsuit claims Trump's executive orders lack definitions for key terms, which could jeopardize equity-related contracts for federal contractors and organizations.
