Prosecutor General Pam Bondi criticized Maine Janet Mills on Wednesday after the Democratic legislator minimized the controversy of transgender athletes in his state.
Bondi said on “America’s Newsroom” with Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino that Mills were “very false” to simply brush the issue of transgender athletes because there were only two cases in the state. Maine refused to modify its policies to keep organic men outside the sports of girls and women.

“First of all, to say that only two is shocking. We have given two examples … First of all, they are boys in the girls’ locker rooms,” said Bondi. “One is too much. It’s ridiculous what she said, and it does not only affect a young woman – that affects the whole team. This affects the whole team, the whole sport of this school.
“These young women are unable to compete because of a boy. The boy in 2024 arrived in 43rd in his category of athletics. When he competed in female sport, he won. Governor Mills should not have said it, should not have done so, should be to support women in the state of Maine. And we are going to fight for them if they did not do it.”
Mills appeared on MSNBC “Morning Joe” to discuss its battle with several departments of the Trump administration, which began when the State refused to comply with the “No Men in Women’s Sports” executive decree of President Donald Trump who prohibited organic men in the sports of girls and women.
The appearance intervened after a judge prohibited the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) of the Maine’s frost funds. All this stems from the refusal of the State to comply with the rules of the title IX.

The Maine’s school district moves to ban the trans sports athletes, defending himself with Trump on state authorities
“The Director General is kept by the Constitution to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, and not to make the laws, and not to invent the laws or reinterpret the laws by tweet or Instagram post or press release or decree. He is not authorized to do so.”
Mills recalled the letters it received from the Ministry of Education, the USDA and the Ministry of Health and Social Services. She described a letter of April 2 from the USDA secretary, Brooke Rollins, as “rather appalling” and said that some have described it as a “ransom note”.
In the letter, the administration threatened to reduce the financing of Maine due to the continuous allowance of the state of organic men in the sports of girls and women.
“The next day, because there are perhaps at most two transgender athletes who participate in the Maine schools at the moment, they have decided to close the financing of our school nutrition program, the entirely school lunch program on which 172,000 Maine schoolchildren are counting for their school meals. This had no sense,” said Mills.

She added that prosecution against the state was “not rational”.
Bondi announced a civil lawsuit of the Ministry of Justice against Maine for its refusal to ban the transgender athletes of female sports.
