Federal officials on March 30 sued Minnesota over a policy that lets some boys who identify as girls participate in girls sports.

The Trump administration said in the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Minnesota, that the policy violates Title IX, a 1972 law aimed at preventing discrimination on the basis of sex.
