缅因州两名联邦法官拒绝了特朗普政府关于回避对缅因州允许变性学生参加女孩和妇女体育比赛的政策提出质疑的诉讼的请求。 Two federal judges in Maine have rejected the Trump administration’s request to recuse themselves from a lawsuit challenging Maine’s policy allowing transgender students to compete in girls’ and women’s sports. 司法部列举了涉及法院雇员亲属的潜在冲突,但法官们说,情况与以前的案件不同,并肯定了他们的公正性。 The Justice Department cited a potential conflict involving a court employee’s relative, but the judges said the situation differs from a prior case and affirmed their impartiality. 该诉讼案于2025年4月提出,声称该政策违反第九编,伤害女运动员。 The lawsuit, filed in April 2025, claims the policy violates Title IX and harms female athletes. 下周安排举行听证会,而一项单独的法律挑战则针对缅因人权委员会,而一项拟议的投票倡议可在11月将该问题提交选民。 A hearing is scheduled for next week, while a separate legal challenge targets the Maine Human Rights Commission, and a proposed ballot initiative could put the issue to voters in November.
