President Donald Trump called for an apology from Maine Gov. Janet Mills over her state’s refusal to follow his executive order banning trans athletes from girls sports, but Mills refused. She defended her state’s stance citing the rule of law and the Constitution. Mills criticized Trump for his policies on abortion and tariffs without naming him directly. This feud began when Trump threatened to cut federal funding to Maine if they did not comply with his order. Mills responded by threatening legal action against the Trump administration if funding was withheld. The Department of Education launched a Title IX investigation against Maine with ongoing protests outside the state capital. Health and Human Services found the state in violation of Title IX and warned of consequences if no action is taken. The deadline to comply is approaching, with the potential for legal action if Maine does not sign an agreement. The battle between Trump and Mills highlights the ongoing controversy surrounding transgender athletes in sports and the clash between state and federal government powers. The situation remains tense as both parties stand firm on their positions.
