In a move that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, the Trump administration’s Department of Justice has filed a civil rights lawsuit against the state of Maine, zeroing in on Governor Janet Mills and her Department of Education over their controversial transgender policies in women’s sports.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, one of President Trump’s strongest legal enforcers, made the announcement on Tuesday during a fiery press conference. Her message was clear: the state of Maine is in violation of federal law for forcing young women to compete against biological males — a decision that the DOJ says directly undermines their civil rights under Title IX.

“Today, the Department of Justice is announcing a civil lawsuit against the Maine Department of Education,” Bondi declared. “The State of Maine is discriminating against women by failing to protect women in women’s sports — pretty basic stuff.”
