Trump DOJ files lawsuit against Minnesota over trans athlete policy in state's latest defiance
The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against Minnesota over its policy allowing trans athletes to compete in women's sports, despite President Trump's executive order banning such participation. The state had ignored the president's directive, sparking the federal lawsuit.
The US Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Minnesota over the state's policy allowing trans athletes to compete in women's and girls' sports, which contradicts President Trump's executive order restricting such participation. The suit is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to enforce its policies on transgender issues nationwide. Minnesota, along with several other states, had ignored or resisted these efforts, leading to this legal action. The case is likely to highlight the ongoing tensions between state and federal authorities over LGBTQ+ rights.
