California AG responds to Trump’s repression against trans athletes in the chaos of the track championship

California Attorney General, Rob Bonta, faces an investigation by the Department of Justice on the laws of his state that allows transgender athletes in girls’ sports.

The DOJ announced the investigation on Wednesday, a day after President Donald Trump threatened to extract state funds for allowing an athlete Trans to compete in a female athletics championship.

The Bronta office responded to the recent pressure on him and the state of California on the subject in a statement to News Digital.

“We remain committed to defending and defending the laws of California and all the additional laws that ensure that the rights of the students, including transgender students, are free of discrimination and harassment. We will continue to closely monitor the actions of the Trump administration in this space,” said the statement.

The announcement of the DOJ of his investigation against the State cited a lawsuit that includes Bont as accused. The demand, presented by the families of two girls from the Martin Luther King high school in Riverside, California, alleges that the field team through the school dropped an athlete from their university place in favor of a trans athlete and that school administrators compared their “Save Girls Sports” shirts with Swastikas, News Digital has previously reported.

The lawsuit, filed in November, seeks to challenge the current law of the State that allows Trans athletes as girls, which has been in force since 2014. Demand extended a list of defendants to include Bont on February 1.

Only a few days later, after Trump signed the Executive Order to “keep men out of women’s sports” on February 5, the United States Department of Education launched an investigation into the California Interestic Federation (CIF) to openly challenge the order.

Now, the tension in the state appears to reach a critical point this weekend in the State Women’s Athletics Championship.

The CIF has already made several changes in the rules that accommodate the girls who would be displaced by the Trans athlete, AB Hernández de Jurupa Valley High School. The changes include giving medals to any “biological” competitor who would have earned a podium place if it were not for Hernández that is placed in front of them.

Even so, many families and activists are talking against CIF for allowing the situation to continue at all, and the Trump administration has not given indications that changes in the rule meet their demands on the subject.
