Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has preemptively filed a lawsuit against President Trump to shield the state's transgender athletes from federal actions that aim to ban them from competing in girls' and women's sports. The lawsuit responds to threats from the Trump administration, and argues that recent executive orders violate constitutional principles and Title IX protections. Ellison emphasized Minnesota's long-standing support for transgender rights and aims to preemptively counter Trump's attempts to enforce policies that could endanger vulnerable children in the state.
This lawsuit is aimed at protecting vulnerable children in Minnesota from the federal government's actions against transgender athletes and their rights.
Ellison argues that Trump's executive orders overstep congressional authority and undermine Title IX, which safeguards against sex-based discrimination in education.
