The state of Maine and President Donald Trump struck a deal over ‘transgender’ athletes in girls’ sports.
Maine dropped its April 7 lawsuit after the USDA agreed to restore the federal funds it had frozen.
The funding freeze came because Maine refused to bar trans athletes from girls’ teams.
Now the money’s flowing again, and the lawsuit’s out.
Another win against woke!
The state of Maine and President Donald Trump reached an agreement in their dispute over transgender athletes in girls sports.
In exchange for the U.S. Department of Agriculture agreeing to restore federal funds to Maine that it had frozen, the state dropped its lawsuit against the Trump administration.
The lawsuit was filed April 7 after a federal funding freeze in response to the state’s refusal to keep trans athletes out of girls sports.
Federal Judge John Woodcock ordered the Trump administration to restore those funds April 12. Woodcock, a senior judge of the United States District Court for the District of Maine, was appointed by former President George W. Bush in 2003.
Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey’s office released a statement addressing the settlement Friday afternoon.
“It’s unfortunate that my office had to resort to federal court just to get USDA to comply with the law and its own regulations,” Frey said. “But we are pleased that the lawsuit has now been resolved and that Maine will continue to receive funds as directed by Congress to feed children and vulnerable adults.”
However, the state is still facing other legal battles related to the issue.
