Federal judge John Woodcock ordered the Trump administration to restore these funds on April 12. Woodcock, principal judge of the United States district court for the Maine district, was appointed by former president George W. Bush in 2003.
The Maine Prosecutor General’s Office Aaron Frey published a declaration concerning the settlement on Friday afternoon.
“It is unfortunate that my office had to use the federal court just so that the USDA complies with the law and its own regulations,” said Frey. “But we are happy that the trial has now been resolved and that Maine continues to receive funds as indicated by the Congress to feed vulnerable children and adults.”
However, the state is still faced with other legal battles linked to the issue.
Maine Girl involved in the battle of Trans athletes reveals how state policies harm her childhood and sport career
The United States Ministry of Justice has announced legal action against the state of Maine for its continuous challenge of the executive order of Trump to keep biological men outside the sports of girls and women and alleged violations of title IX. Attorney General Bondi announced the trial at a press conference on April 16.
“The Ministry of Justice will not pass when women are victims of sports discrimination,” said Bondi at the press conference. “What they experienced is horrible.”
Bondi said that she was looking for an injunction and that the titles returned to the girls who “rightly” won competitions in which the Trans athletes participated.
The Ministry of Justice accused the state of “flouting openly and challenging the anti-discrimination federal law by applying policies that force girls to compete with boys in sports competitions designated exclusively for girls”, according to a complaint obtained by PK Press Club.
“By prioritizing gender identity on biological reality, Maine’s policies deprive the athletes of equitable competition girls, refuse them equal sporting opportunities and expose them to increased risks of physical injuries and psychological damage.”
Frey previously allegedly allegedly alleged that the “nutrition program of children from the Maine Ministry of Education was unable to access several sources of federal funding, which are all necessary to feed vulnerable children and adults” after Rollins reported that the freezing of funding would not affect the programs that maintain food children.
Meanwhile, the representative of Maine Sate, Laurel Libby, seeks to bring her trial against the president of the Maine Chamber, Ryan Fecteau, before the Supreme Court of the United States. Libby continued Fecteau after being censored by the democratic majority of the state legislature in February for a viral Facebook publication which identified a trans athlete who won a competition for girls.
But the judge of the American district court of Rhode Island, Melissa Dubose, ruled against Libby In his case on April 22. Dubose, appointed by former president Joe Biden in January, chaired the case after each district judge of Maine refused to take it.
Then, the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals also ruled against Libby.
So, now, she is looking for an intervention from the United States Supreme Court and expects whether the court will hear the case on April 12.
The state is also involved in its own internal conflict with residents.
A school district In Maine, travels to comply with Trump instead of the state on the issue. The MSAD N ° 70 school board voted unanimously on Monday evening to comply with title IX, and the superintendent Tyler Putnam told PK Press Club Digital that he would modify the district policies to prevent Trans athletes from participating in female sports.
Maine’s parent, Nick Blanchard, recently attracted national attention after being interrupted during a meeting of the school board in the capital of Maine d’A Augusta while discussing the controversial issue and a petition which he launched to remove a school administrator from his post to support the inclusion of transgender.
Maine High School athlete Cassidy, Carlisle, spoke during a rally in Augusta, opposing, Governor Janet Mills on the issue and made a trip to the White House to discuss the issue of his state on February 27. Carlisle was led to take action on the issue after losing against a trans athlete in northern cross -country ski and ski competitions. She also says that she had to share a locker room with a Trans athlete six years ago during a college gymnasium class.
