The Trump administration has threatened legal action against Minnesota for allegedly violating Title IX by allowing trans-identifying males to compete in girls’ sports.

The federal Department of Education (DOE) and Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a Notice of Violation on Sept. 30 to the state, the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) for them to comply with the federal Title IX statute or face a Department of Justice (DOJ) referral.
