The U.S. Department of Agriculture is temporarily pulling its funding for the University of Maine System .

The move comes a week after the Trump administration sent a violation notice to Gov. Janet Mills for allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports.

Last month , Mills and President Donald Trump publicly fought over the state of Maine 's failure to comply with Trump 's executive order barring biological males from competing in women's sports.
