The Trump administration on Monday filed a lawsuit against Minnesota as the state continued to buck the president’s executive order to keep males out of women’s and girls’ sports. The Justice Department alleged that the state’s Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League are in violation of Title IX policies.

Minnesota has resisted making a change to its policies regarding transgender athletes. The state filed a preemptive lawsuit last year, saying the state’s human rights act supersedes President Donald Trump’s executive orders. The lawsuit said at the time that the state was already in compliance with Title IX. A ruling is pending on the federal government’s motion to dismiss the case. The federal government said in a statement on Monday that the state violates Title IX 'by requiring girls to compete against boys in athletic competitions that are designated exclusively for girls and allowing boys to invade intimate spaces designated exclusively for girls, such as multi-person locker rooms and bathrooms.'

The lawsuit asked federal court in Minnesota to declare that the state is in violation of Title IX. Fox News Digital reached out to the MSHSL, the MDE and Gov. Tim Walz’s office for comment. In October, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison defended having transgender athletes in girls’ sports.
