Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti is leading a coalition of Republican attorneys general calling on Maine to drop a proposed “totalitarian” bill that would impede other states’ ability to enforce their own laws restricting transgender surgeries for children.

The attorneys general say the proposal would turn Maine into a “sanctuary state” for the controversial medical procedures.
