Judge Blocks Trump’s Bid To Squeeze Maine On ‘Trans’ Issue
Fox News ^ | April 11, 2025 | Ryan Morik

A federal judge said the Trump administration must lift their freeze on federal funding to Maine.

The ruling reads that the USDA "must immediately unfreeze and release to the state of Maine any federal funding that they have frozen or failed or refused to pay because of the state of Maine's alleged failure to comply with the requirements of Title IX."

The administration is also "barred from freezing, terminating, or otherwise interfering with the state of Maine's future federal funding for alleged violations of Title IX without complying with the legally required procedure."

The USDA announced the funding freeze and a review of federal funding to Maine earlier this month after the state refused to provide equal opportunities to women and girls in educational programs.

The state has refused to comply with President Donald Trump's February executive order to ban trans athletes from girls' and women's sports, prompting immense federal pressure. Trump initially vowed to cut federal funding to the state if it refused to comply with the order during a Feb. 20 speech.

Maine officials filed a lawsuit against the USDA on Monday following the agency’s decision to freeze funding to the state.

The state accused the USDA of "withholding funding used to feed children in schools, childcare centers, and after-school programming as well as disabled adults in congregate settings," an argument the judge agreed with.

The judge noted that the freeze was due to Title IX violations, but it "restricted" the ability to "provid[e] meals to children and vulnerable adults."

Ignore. OR... require Maine applies the same standards to the Somali jihadists they imported. All of none.

What judge? Where? Who?

Too bad we can't count on Roberts and Barrett.

With any luck one of the supreme "D" Weird Sisters will suffer a grave medical "event".

Thanks

This sort of nonsense is going to keep happening until we can start abolishing the departments that hand out free santa claus money.

If Maine wants to do these sickening things, well, I guess that is their call. I don't like it, but.... But the rest of us out here in sane America shouldn't be the ones footing the bill. Let them pay for it. That's the insulting part of the whole situation, they want this thing so so badly but no they don't want to be the ones to actually pay for it.

They want to have it both ways by getting it for free off someone else's dime.

Woodcock. Strange bird. Probably a "sap sucker" too.

Maine can get the money by abiding by the title IX ruling. It’s their choice.

It may be PAST time to ask:

“How many divisions does Judge Woodcock command???”

Let the wheels of the court system withhold their money until truth, and the law, prevails.

(Woodcock. Strange bird.)

Actually, I’m a connoisseur when it comes to Woodcock hunting. It’s a tasty game bird rival to a Bobwhite Quail.

On what grounds?!

I’m old enough to recall when the President used the national guard to force colored people into whites only schools.

Don’t recall any judges issuing orders to block that...

As to original intent, when the Constitution was written, it was not physically possible to "be" trans-sexual.

The democrats may have raised a technical objection under the Administrative Procedure Act. The (APA) is a federal law that governs how federal agencies make rules, adjudicate legal matters, and interact with the public.
Even if Trump’s people failed to mind their legal Ps & Qs (and there’s no excuse for that, some leagle beagle deserves a trip to the wood shed), Maine is getting its funds cut off for violating Title IX, as rectified by president Trump.
It’s scheisser stuff that wasn’t raised when Joe’s handlers changed it four years ago. I have spoken.
