One of Donald Trump’s top priorities since joining office has been to keep Transgender girls out of women’s sports. He has taken drastic measures against multiple states who have failed to comply with this matter. However, he is now seeing an attorney general refuse to abide by this policy.
“We Are fighting To Keep Boys In Girls Sports” Donald Trump Sees Attorney General Defy His Transgender Policy, Reaction Expected To Be Massive
During his press conference, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison gloated about his lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice. The lawsuit aims to protect the rights of biological males competing in girls’ sports:
In an interview with Public Citizen on Thursday, Ellison made an appearance to boast about his legal battle over the issue, which he filed back in April.
“We are fighting to protect transgender athletes. In fact, we were in court doing it today… Donald Trump and [Attorney General] Pam Bondi were threatening to sue me, I sued them first!” Ellison said.
“Because of this issue of them trying to exclude transgender athletes. And what we’re talking about is kids folks. We’re talking about kids, minors, who all they want to do is be on the team and build relationships with their friends,” he added. “But this guy has said ‘no, they must be excluded, they must be scapegoated.’ We said ‘absolutely hell no!’”
The White House previously provided a statement to Fox News Digital responding to Ellison’s lawsuit.
“Why would a grown man sue the Trump administration to allow other biological males to participate in women’s sports? This is creepy and anti-woman,” White House spokesperson Harrison Fields told Fox News Digital.
Minnesota was one of the first states to openly defy Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order, and is currently under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education and Department of Health and Human Services for its defiance.
The state’s policies that allow trans athletes to play in girls’ sports enabled a trans softball pitcher to lead Champlin Park High School to the state championship this past spring, igniting national controversy and a lawsuit against Ellison by three girls’ softball players in the state.
The lawsuit names three school districts, Ellison, Minnesota State High School League executive director Erich Martens, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Education Willie Jett, and commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights Rebecca Lucero as defendants.

One of the anonymous softball players involved in the lawsuit previously told Fox News Digital what it was like facing the trans athlete, who led Champlin Park High School to the state championship this season.
“Hitting against him is not only a physical challenge but a mental, too. It’s a mental battle knowing that he has an advantage in the sport that I grew up playing, making it hard to even want to hit against him. His ability to get outs and spin the ball is a strong advantage, but like I said it’s also incredibly mentally challenging knowing that you’re competing against someone who has unfair advantages leaving you with little to no confidence,” the player said.
“This issue has affected me in ways that I never imagined. It’s simply unfair and I hate that nothing is happening to change that. Boys should not be able to take girls spots on teams just because they are capable of doing so. I hope that more girls affected by this issue will stand up against this.”
The anonymous player also called out Ellison for aggressively defending trans inclusion in girls’ sports in the state.
