Friday, the prosecutor general of Maine Aaron Frey blow to the Trump administration when a federal judge judged that a state financing gel must be lifted while the State refuses to modify its policies concerning transgender athletes in female and female sports.
The judge of the district court John Woodcock made the temporary ban order, which was suspended in the middle of the fight of President Donald Trump with the governor of Maine Janet Mills against transgender athletes. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the freeze of funding last week.

“This temporary prohibition order confirms that the Trump administration has not followed the rule of law when it has reduced the program funds that go to feed schoolchildren and vulnerable adults,” said Frey’s declaration. “This ordinance preserves Maine’s access to certain funds appropriate by the congress by prohibiting an illegal frost by the administration.
“No one in our constitutional republic is above the law and we will continue to fight to keep this administration to account.”
The USDA “must immediately thaw and release to the state of Maine any federal funding that they have frozen or failed or refused to pay because of the alleged state of the Maine State to comply with the requirements of the title IX”, the leading reading of Woodcock.

The administration was also “prohibited to freeze, finish or interfere otherwise with the future federal financing of the state of Maine for alleged violations of title IX without complying with the legally required procedure”.
Maine refused to comply with Trump’s executive decree aimed at banning organic men from the sports of girls and women. Trump initially promised to reduce federal funding to the state if he had to refuse to comply with the order during a speech on February 20.
Maine officials filed a complaint against the USDA on Monday following the agency’s decision to freeze state financing.
The State accused the USDA of “retaining the funding used to feed children in schools, daycares and programming after school as well as withdrawal adults”, an argument with which the judge accepted. The judge noted that the frost was due to violations of the title IX, but it restricted the ability to “provide[e] Meal for vulnerable children and adults. “”

After Trump has signed an executive decree to ban the transminine sports and girls athletes on February 5, Maine was one of the many states that openly challenged the order.
