Nassau Executive Sues Attorney General Over Cease-And-Desist Of Transgender Ban

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has filed a federal lawsuit against New York State Attorney General Letitia James for sending him a cease-and-desist letter over Nassau County’s recent executive order banning transgender women from competing in women’s sports.

Blakeman signed the executive order on Feb. 22, which prohibited transgender women from participating in women’s sports in any county-run facilities. On March 1, James sent Nassau County a cease-and-desist letter calling the move illegal, according to both state and federal law.
