The State of Maine has sued the Trump administration for withholding funds that provide meals to children in schools, childcare centers, and after-school programming as well as disabled adults in congregate settings. In a letter sent to Maine, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that it would be freezing the funding because of Maine's alleged violation of Title IX in educational programming. The plaintiff argues that the Trump administration is violating the Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act by withholding congressionally-appropriated funds.
On May 2, 2025, the parties announced that they executed a settlement agreement, and Maine voluntarily dismissed its claims with prejudice.
