Minnesota sues Trump administration over anti-trans executive orders
Minnesota is suing President Donald Trump’s administration over two executive orders Attorney General Keith Ellison said amount to “bullying” trans children, Ellison announced Thursday.
At a news conference in his office, Ellison said the lawsuit was a response to multiple threats by the Trump administration to sue the state and withhold federal funding if Minnesota did not comply executive orders issued in the first days of Trump’s administration.
The orders attempt to ban trans children from school sports and define two sexes — male and female — that are “not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.”
Ellison called the Trump administration’s actions “bullying tactics — plain and simple."
