Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, has come out with additional support of the Trump administration’s investigations into Maine’s Department of Education over the issue of biological males competing in female sports.

“I believe that the State of Maine is under scrutiny because of the state law that allows biological males to play in girls’ sports. And that is contrary, not just to the President’s executive order, but what I believe is the very spirit and intent of Title IX, which was to provide sports and other athletic activities to girls in a safe and fair way,” Collins said in an official statement on Monday.

On Monday, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights issued a final warning to the Maine’s Department of Education regarding its refusal to comply with a directive to “protect women and girls from discrimination in sports or intimate spaces.” The warning follows another investigation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ civil rights office initiated in March that found Maine in violation of Title IX for “continuing to unlawfully allow” trans girls to compete in girls’ sports.
