ME: Principals fight DOJ request for student names in transgender athlete case

Source: SFGate

“A Maine principals’ group is fighting a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice that seeks the names of all students playing interscholastic sports in the state as the DOJ attempts to ban transgender athletes from participating. President Donald Trump’s administration sued Maine in April for not complying with an executive order barring transgender athletes from sports. The Justice Department followed up with a subpoena of the Maine Principals’ Association, a nonprofit that oversees school sports in Maine, seeking a host of information. The full scope of the subpoena isn’t public because a judge sealed it. However, in a Sept. 4 legal filing, the principals’ association said the subpoena included ‘requests for the production of all athletic rosters for the state,’ and would require providing ‘personally identifiable information of students, many of whom are unrelated to the underlying controversy.'” (09/11/25)
