The California Department of Education and the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) have refused to comply with the Trump administration’s demand that the state ban transgender women and girls from participating in school sports that align with their gender identity.

The Trump administration signaled that it would pursue enforcement actions against the state and previously threatened to cut federal education funds.

The University of Pennsylvania and the federal government have reached an agreement that the Ivy League school will adhere to the Trump administration's ban on transgender athletes competing in women's sports.
