CONCORD, N.H. -Lawyers for the Trump administration are looking to be dropped from a lawsuit filed by a pair of transgender teens currently fighting a NH law and President Trump’s executive order banning boys from playing in girls’ sports.
On Friday Deputy Associate Attorney General Richard Lawson asked a judge to dismiss the claims against Trump, the Justice and Education departments and department heads and argued that lawyers for Parker Tirrell, and Iris Turmelle are trying to “drag the federal government into a lawsuit well under way not because of any imminent injury, but because of a generalized grievance with policies set by the President of the United States.”
Back in August lawyers for the teens filed their suit against Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut, members of the State Board of Education and the students’ respective districts then added on the Trump administration in February after the President signed the executive order barring men from taking part in women’s sports.
According to court documents Lawson argued that Tirrell and Turmelle attorneys failed to claim the federal defendants have taken “a single action” to implement the executive order against the plaintiffs, the plaintiffs’ schools, or “even in the state of New Hampshire.”
