Judge orders USDA to unfreeze federal funds withheld from Maine over Title IX

A U.S. District Court Judge, John Woodcock, ordered the Trump administration to restore approximately $3 million in federal funds to Maine that had been frozen by the USDA due to Title IX compliance disputes.
The funding was frozen due to a disagreement over whether Maine was complying with Title IX regarding transgender athletes.
Judge Woodcock stated that the USDA's actions were 'contrary to law' and barred them from freezing future funds related to Title IX violations.
The ruling confirmed that the Trump administration did not legally justify the funding cuts affecting schoolchildren and vulnerable adults in Maine.
