The Trump administration's attempt to cut funding for Maine's school meal programs was thwarted by a federal court intervention. Officials in Maine, led by Governor Janet Mills, stood firmly against Trump's executive order targeting transgender athletes. After a legal settlement, the U.S. Department of Agriculture agreed to restore funding to the state's meal programs, which serve over 170,000 children and vulnerable adults. This decision is seen as a victory for inclusivity and procedural fairness, following a court ruling that the USDAâs actions likely violated legal requirements.
"We'll see you in court," she said. On Friday, standing before reporters, she delivered the follow-up: "Well, we did see him in court-and we won."
"It's unfortunate that my office had to resort to federal court just to get USDA to comply with the law and its own regulations," said Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey.
