Read MoreThe state of Maine filed a lawsuit Monday against the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins for revoking funding after the state refused to comply with the Trump administration’s directive banning men from competing in women’s sports.
The lawsuit claims the USDA’s revocation of funding is “blatantly unlawful” and violates the Administrative Procedure Act for “freezing federal funds allocated to Maine to feed schoolchildren.” Funding from the USDA was cut on April 2 after Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills got into a public spat with President Donald Trump during which the governor declined to comply with Trump’s ban on men in women’s sports.
