USDA freezes some funds to Maine over support for transgender athletes

The United States Department of Agriculture has frozen federal funding for Maine due to the state's refusal to comply with President Donald Trump's executive order on transgender athletes in women's sports.
Maine must comply with Title IX to continue receiving taxpayer dollars, as stated by USDA Secretary Brooks Rollins.
USDA Secretary Brooks Rollins emphasized that funding will remain frozen until Maine agrees to protect female athletes from transgender inclusion.
The pause on funding will not affect federal feeding programs or direct assistance to Mainers, according to Rollins.
