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.”

Victor Reacts: This Is Sick, Predatory, Disgusting Behavior by Minnesota Democrats (VIDEO)

Children are often exposed to pornographic content between ten and thirteen years old.
How is that possible?
Children cannot buy firearms, alcohol, or even spray paint.
So why are so many children exposed to such graphic adult content?
Because of things like this.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
Every single Minnesota House Democrat voted against a bill that would have required age verification on pornographic websites to protect children from watching or accessing explicit online content.
The vote on House File 1434 ended in a 67-67 tie on Thursday, with all 67 Republicans supporting the measure and all 67 Democrats opposing it.
The tie killed the bill.
The legislation would have mandated that commercial websites where 25 percent or more of the content consists of material harmful to minors verify that users are at least 18 years old before granting access.
The bill defines “harmful to minors” based on standards lacking serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for youth.
It included protections for data privacy and enforcement mechanisms through the attorney general and private lawsuits by parents.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, during a debate about the bill, Democrat State Representative Leigh Finke, the state’s first openly transgender legislator, voiced strong opposition, claiming porn can be “educational” for queer kids.
Finke claimed that the vague definition of “prurient interest” could be interpreted to include “the very existence of transgender kids.”
Intentionally allowing children to be exposed to this content is sick, predatory, and disgusting.
The left appears hellbent on destroying the innocence of children. Parents everywhere should take note.

WATCH: CNN Crew Apprehended by IDF in the West Bank – Says They Were Assaulted and Equipment was Damaged – IDF Releases Statement

IDF Soldiers detain CNN crew in the West Bank
A CNN crew reporting on Israeli settlements in the West Bank in Palestine was detained by IDF soldiers on Friday.
The reporters say they were put in a chokehold after they and several Palestinian residents were approached by armed troops.
According to the Jerusalem Post,
The CNN team was interviewing Palestinian residents of the West Bank town of Tayasir after settlers established an outpost in the town and violently attacked residents.
While conducting interviews on camera, IDF soldiers ordered the team and the Palestinians to stop speaking and aimed their weapons at the group, according to the CNN reporters present.
Video from the incident shows the reporters being approached and detained.
WATCH:
The full report from CNN features the outposts established by Israeli settlers in the West Bank and stories of the violent attacks from Palestinian residents.
The clip further shows CNN Jerusalem correspondent Jeremy Diamond speaking with IDF soldiers, one of whom tells him, “We are here because this is our place… The land is ours.” When asked if all of the West Bank belongs to Israelis, the soldier replies, “Of course, and not just for the soldiers, for the jews.”
Another soldier details the alleged murder of an 18-year-old Israeli settler by a Palestinian, saying they are exacting revenge against the residents in the West Bank.
The soldier, Meir, later tells Diamond that while the settlement in Tayasir is not legal, “it will be… slowly.” He agrees that it will be legal thanks to the IDF and his presence, saying, “Of course … I help my people.”
“Meir is describing the settler playbook, and the role Israeli soldiers often play in propping it up,” Diamond says in his report. “The Israeli military did not respond to CNN’s questions about soldiers’ conduct in the West Bank, including our detention. Amid the war with Iran, those efforts are intensifying, with at least four outposts established this week alone, land often taken with the blood of Palestinians,” he continues.
The IDF did provide a statement to CNN, writing, “The actions and behavior of the soldiers in the incident are incompatible with what is expected of IDF soldiers operating in the Judea and Samaria area.”
