Judge Orders USDA to Reinstate Maine Funding
Tap title to read story
A federal judge has ordered the USDA to unfreeze funding to Maine, which had been withheld following President Trump's dispute with Governor Janet Mills over transgender athletes in school sports. Trump's executive order banning transgender girls from girls' sports teams led to the conflict, with Mills refusing to comply. The USDA paused funding for school administrative and technological functions, citing the governor's defiance. Maine sued, arguing the USDA didn't follow proper procedures, and a judge granted a temporary restraining order, reinstating the funds. The dispute involves multiple federal agencies and concerns over Title IX compliance.
