Trump Administration Sues Minnesota over Transgender Athlete Policy, Threatens Federal Funding
The Justice Department claims Minnesota's policies violate Title IX, risking over $3 billion in federal funding, and seeks a court order to bar transgender girls from girls' sports.
- On Monday, the Justice Department sued Minnesota and the Minnesota State High School League, alleging the state violates Title IX by allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls' sports.
- The investigation began last February when the Minnesota State High School League refused to enforce President Donald Trump's executive order banning transgender girls from sports teams.
- According to the Justice Department, Minnesota receives more than $3 billion annually in federal funding that is contingent on Title IX compliance, strengthening the legal pressure.
- Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison dismissed the lawsuit as a "sad attempt to get attention," while 21 school board members affirmed "unwavering support" for transgender student inclusion.
- This litigation is part of a broader national fight, as more than two dozen states have enacted laws prohibiting transgender women and girls from participating in certain sports.
