Trump signed the executive decree “No Men in Women’s Sports” in early February, which led several associations of athletics to comply with it and a handful of thumb to order. The question with the state of Maine came to the head at a meeting of the National Governors Association.
Trump has threatened to reduce federal funding to the state so as not to ban the biological men from the sports of girls and women.
The next day, the Mills’ office responded with a statement threatening legal action against the Trump administration if it retains federal state funding. Then Trump and Mills verbally overwhelmed in a largely publicized argument in the White House during a bipartite meeting of governors.

The OCR announced last week that it found the Ministry of Education of Maine, the Association of Managers of Maine and the Greely High School in violation of the title IX for having continued to allow trans inclusion in the sports of girls.
The acting director of the OCR, Anthony Archeval, previously made a statement to PK Press Club Digital Warning of the potential consequences for the continuous challenge of the decree.
“What HHS is asking for the Maine Ministry of Education, the Association of Maine Directors (MPA) and Greely High School is simple – protecting the rights of female athletes. Girls deserve sports reserved for girls without male competitors. And if Maine will not arrive at the table to comply voluntarily by law,” said Archeval.
