“In America, the President is neither a King nor a dictator, as much as this one tries to act like it – and it is the rule of law that prevents him from being so,” Gov. Janet Mills said.

Summary

Within hours of Maine Gov. Janet Mills publicly defying Donald Trump’s ban on transgender athletes in women’s sports, the U.S. Education Department launched a Title IX compliance probe targeting Maine’s transgender-inclusive policies.

Trump threatened to withhold federal funding if Maine did not comply. Mills firmly responded, “We’ll see you in court.”

She condemned the investigation as political retaliation and an unconstitutional use of federal power.

Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey vowed to fight back.

LGBTQ+ advocates praised Mills for standing up for students, saying Trump’s bullying would be legally challenged.
