The California Attorney General Rob Bonta faces an investigation by the Ministry of Justice on the laws of his state allowing transgender athletes of girls sports.
The DoJ announced the investigation on Wednesday, one day after President Donald Trump threatened to withdraw state funding for allowing a Trans athlete to participate in a championship for athletics girls.
The Bonta office responded to the recent pressure on him and the state of California on the issue in a statement to PK Press Club Digital.

“We remain determined to defend and respect the Californian laws and to all additional laws which guarantee the rights of students, including transgender students, to be exempt from discrimination and harassment. We will continue to closely monitor the actions of the Trump administration in this space,” the statement said.
The announcement by the Doj of his investigation against the State cited a trial which includes Bonta as a defendant. The trial, submitted by the families of two daughters of Martin Luther King secondary school in Riverside, California, alleges that the school’s cross-country team abandoned an athlete of their university spot in favor of a trans athlete and that school administrators compared their t-shirts “saving the sports of girls” in Swastikas, reported PK Press Club Digital.
How transgender in sports changed the 2024 elections and sparked a national counterculture
The pursuit, filed in November, seeks to challenge the current state law which allows athletes to compete as girls, who have been in place since 2014. The trial has expanded a list of defendants to include Bonta on February 1.
A few days later, after Trump signed the executive decree “keeping men out of female sports” on February 5, the United States Ministry of Education launched an investigation into California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) for openly defying.
Now, the tension in the state appears to present itself this weekend at the female athletic state championship.
The CIF has already made several rules of rules that welcome the girls who would be moved by the Trans athlete, Ab Hernandez from the secondary school Jurupa Valley. Changes include medals to all competitors of “organic women” who would have won a podium point without Hernandez forward.
However, many families and activists denounce the CIF for having allowed the situation to continue, and the Trump administration has given no indication that rules will satisfy the issue.
