Legal Challenges

Case Name Tirrell v. Edelblut, No. 1:24-cv-00251 (D.N.H.)
Date Complaint Filed February 12, 2025 (amended complaint)
Venue U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire
Summary

Executive Order 14201 seeks to rescind federal funding from educational programs that allow transgender girls and women to participate in women’s sports and directs the Secretary of Education to “protect all-female athletic opportunities and all-female locker rooms.”

Plaintiffs Parker Tirrell and Iris Turmelle sue President Trump and various federal, state, and local officials, arguing that the Executive Order violates the Plaintiffs Fifth Amendment equal protection rights, is an ultra vires action conflicting with Title IX, and is a violation of separation of powers by withholding congressionally appropriated funding. Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that the Executive Order is unconstitutional and unlawful, a permanent injunction, and nominal damages.
