Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will take legal measures against states defying federal laws concerning transgender individuals in women’s sports. Issuing letters to officials in California, Maine, and Minnesota, Bondi emphasized the DOJ's commitment to uphold President Trump’s executive order. Critics argue that the order is an attack on transgender rights and reinforces restrictive gender roles. The Education Department's new interpretation of Title IX could lead to investigations and the potential withdrawal of federal funding from non-compliant states.
The DOJ will leverage every legal option necessary to ensure state compliance with federal law and President Trump's executive order regarding transgender participation in sports.
The NWLC decries the executive order as another attempt to bully trans people and enforce sexist gender roles under the guise of protecting women.
This policy shift may lead to significant civil rights investigations into state policies on transgender sports, potentially impacting federal funding.
