NEW: Justice Department Sues Minnesota for Allowing Boys in Girls’ Sports and Intimate Spaces

Tim Walz testifies in House Oversight Committee hearing – March 4, 2026
The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) on Monday, alleging sex-based discrimination by allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports and use girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is a well-known advocate for these policies, and he infamously signed a 2023 law, directing all public schools to provide free menstrual products to all menstruating students, including trans students, in grades 4 to 12.
The 45-page lawsuit was filed in Minnesota federal court, arguing that the “unfair, intentionally discriminatory practice violates the very core of Title IX of the Education Amendments.”
“Title IX’s core purpose is to ensure that both boys and girls have equal educational opportunities. This includes protecting girls’ equal educational athletic opportunities by recognizing that boys have an inherent biological advantage in sports,” the filing reads, noting male and female athletes have “undeniable physiological differences.”
“But Minnesota casts this aside in favor of so-called “gender identity,” a choice that elevates ideology over biology, fairness, and safety. In open defiance of Title IX’s antidiscrimination protections, Minnesota’s policies and practices create unfair competition, deny girls equal educational opportunities, and expose girls to a hostile educational environment with heightened risks of physical injury and psychological harm.”
It further points to the over $3 billion in federal funding that the Minnesota Department of Education receives annually from the US Department of Education (USDOE), arguing that Minnesota has a duty to comply with USDOE’s regulations implementing Title IX.
The MDE also receives approximately $42.6 million annually from the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and is required to comply with HHS’s regulations implementing Title IX
President Trump’s Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports executive order directs the USDOE to prioritize Title IX enforcement actions “against educational institutions (including athletic associations composed of or governed by such institutions) that deny female students an equal opportunity to participate in sports and athletic events by requiring them, in the women’s category, to compete with or against or to appear unclothed before males.”
The Department of Justice asked the court to block the state’s policy of abolishing sex-separated sports and intimate spaces, monitor their compliance with Title IX, and to compensate female athletes and correct girls’ athletic records that have been set by male athletes.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Education Secretary Linda McMahon issued statements on the lawsuit in a press release:
“The Trump Administration does not tolerate flawed state policies that ignore biological reality and unfairly undermine girls on the playing field,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “This Department of Justice is proud to partner with HHS and the Department of Education to protect our girls in Minnesota and across the country.”
“The Justice Department cannot ignore a state’s brazen defiance of federal antidiscrimination law,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “In service of radical gender ideology, Minnesota’s actions violate Title IX and deny female athletes their hard-earned trophies, records, dignity, and safety.”
“We will not allow girls to be denied equal opportunity and basic privacy,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “Title IX is clear: schools that accept federal funding must protect the rights, safety, and dignity of female students.”
“The Trump Administration will always fight for the safety and civil rights of women and girls,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “Minnesota’s policies allow men to dominate women’s sports, denying female athletes fair competition and eroding their right to equal access in educational programs and activities. Thank you to Attorney General Bondi for bringing this fight to the courts to hold Minnesota accountable.”

This is the third illegal alien charged with murder in Fairfax County in recent weeks. An illegal alien from Sierra Leone with a lengthy criminal record was charged in the stabbing death of Stephanie Minter at a bus stop in late February. An illegal alien also from Guatemala was charged in another stabbing murder last weekend.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin posted, ” I’m told by two ICE sources that the “Virginia father” charged w/ murdering his 3-month-old infant daughter in Fairfax County, VA is a Guatemalan illegal alien who entered the U.S. as a gotaway. He is now charged w/ murder & ICE filed detainer.”

Fairfax County police statement:
Father Charged with Murder in Death of 3-Month-Old Daughter
Detectives from our Homicide Squad and Child Abuse Squad have charged a 28-year-old man in connection with the death of his 3-month-old daughter in Bailey’s Crossroads.
On March 27, shortly after 7:30 p.m., officers responded to the 3400 block of Lake Street in Bailey’s Crossroads for the report of an unresponsive infant. Upon arrival, officers determined the infant was not breathing and immediately began CPR until Fire and Rescue personnel arrived and continued life-saving efforts. The infant was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced deceased.
At the time of the incident, the infant was in the care of her father, Misael Lopez Gomez, 28, of Bailey’s Crossroads. During the investigation, detectives and hospital staff observed evidence consistent with abuse.
Preliminarily, results from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner’s autopsy determined the cause of death was blunt force trauma.
Today, Lopez Gomez was arrested and charged with Second Degree Murder and Felony Child Abuse. He is being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center on no bond.
Both murders by the alleged illegal alien Guatemalan men took place in the Bailey’s Crossroads section of Fairfax County (near the city of Falls Church) which has long been a haven for illegal aliens. The Minter murder took place in the Hybla Valley section (just south of the city of Alexandria) which is also home to large numbers of illegal aliens.
The House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a hearing for April 15 on Fairfax County’s deadly sanctuary policies (WJLA-TV excerpt)
Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano and Sheriff Stacey Kincaid were invited to testify at a hearing next month before the House Judiciary subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement.
The hearing, titled “Fairfax County, Virginia: The Dangerous Consequences of Sanctuary Policies,” is set for April 15.
The following invitation was sent to Kincaid and Descano:
“The hearing will examine how state and local policies that prohibit cooperation with federal immigration authorities hurt public safety. Your testimony will assist the Committee and Subcommittee in developing legislative reforms to address sanctuary jurisdictions.“
The committee members previously sent letters to Descano and Kincaid. The hearing was scheduled after the murder of Stephanie Minter in Fairfax County.
The U.S. Department of Education is also investigating Fairfax County after an 18-year-old illegal alien high school junior, Israel Flores Ortiz from El Salvador, was charged with serially groping girls between their legs in school.
ED is opening yet another investigation in Fairfax County following reports from 12 high school girls who have credibly accused one male student – an illegal immigrant – of sexual assault. This is the latest in a long list of investigations into Northern VA school divisions:
FIVE Northern VA school divisions allowed students to access bathrooms and intimate facilities based on subjective ‘gender identity.’ Female students say they witnessed male students inappropriately touch other students and watch female students change in a female locker room. Many female students in the Divisions have reported that they avoid using the restroom at school because the policies make them feel unsafe and uncomfortable.
And, just last week, convicted sex offender Richard Cox – a man charged with possessing child pornography and exposing and touching himself in girl’s locker rooms in multiple VA high schools – had his trial paused. Arlington Public Schools and Arlington County allow the use of intimate facilities based on ‘gender identity.’ Cox now wants the charges dismissed, claiming that the women testifying against him just “don’t find my body beautiful.”
Virginia’s experiment with radical gender ideology, race-based admissions systems, far-Left indoctrination, and unlawful discrimination has inflicted immeasurable harm on our students. It must stop.

John Sauer Spars with Justice Jackson Over Illegals Giving Birth in the US During Supreme Court’s Oral Arguments on Birthright Citizenship (AUDIO)


John Sauer, the Justice Department’s Solicitor General, appeared before the Supreme Court on Wednesday to argue President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order.
The President also attended the Supreme Court’s oral arguments on Wednesday morning.
The majority of the Supreme Court appeared skeptical of President Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.
President Trump last year asked the US Supreme Court to end birthright citizenship.
“The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Friday to review the constitutionality of President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, pushing the issue back before the justices for the second time this year,” CNN reported.
“The lower court’s decisions invalidated a policy of prime importance to the president and his administration in a manner that undermines our border security,” DOJ Solicitor General John Sauer told the Supreme Court in the appeal obtained by CNN. “Those decisions confer, without lawful justification, the privilege of American citizenship on hundreds of thousands of unqualified people.”
Several federal judges have blocked President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order.
According to President Trump’s order, the 14th Amendment is being misinterpreted by the left to give citizenship to ‘anchor babies.’
“It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth,” Trump’s order stated.
Trump’s order argued the 14th Amendment has always excluded babies born to people in the US illegally.
“[The] Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text,” the order stated.
On Wednesday, Solicitor General John Sauer sparred with Justice Jackson over illegal aliens giving birth in the United States.
No other country allows this. This is suicidal for the United States.
“So, are we bringing pregnant women for depositions?” Justice Jackson asked John Sauer.
“No. As I stated earlier, the Executive Order turns on the lawfulness of status. So, if you give birth to a baby in the hospital right now, it gets the birth certificate in the system – there’s a computer system,” Sauer said.
“So there’s no opportunity, there’s apparently no opportunity then, for the person to prove or say that they actually intended to stay in the United States?” Jackson said.
“The opposite is true. There are opportunities to dispute if they think they are wrongfully denied, which only happens in a tiny minority of cases,” Sauer said.
“After the fact? After the fact? After the baby has been denied citizenship, we go through the process?” Jackson said.
“And I’m summarizing… The computer program automatically generates a Social Security number…provided the system automatically checks the immigration status of the parents, which there are robust databases for. It appears no different to the vast majority of birthing parents,” John Sauer.
AUDIO:
President Trump slammed the birthright citizenship after he left the Supreme Court.
“We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow “Birthright” Citizenship! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump said on Truth Social.
