Attorney General Pam Bondi has put three Democrat-led states on notice for potentially defying President Trump’s executive order banning transgender athletes from women’s and girl’s sports events. Bondi has initiated investigations in California, Maine, and Minnesota and warned of taking appropriate action to enforce federal law if violations are found. The President has threatened to withhold federal funding from states that do not comply. The executive order fulfills a campaign promise for Trump and is a significant victory for Republicans. Bondi emphasized that federal law supersedes state laws, and the Department of Justice is prepared to take legal action to ensure compliance. The letters sent to state officials in California, Maine, and Minnesota highlighted their defiance of federal law and the potential consequences of their actions. This move comes after a clash between Trump and Maine Governor Janet Mills over the issue. Bondi’s announcement underscores the administration’s commitment to defending women’s sports and upholding the President’s executive order. The Department of Justice has already taken legal action against New York and Illinois over immigration laws, further indicating their willingness to hold states accountable for non-compliance.
