In a release on Wednesday, the Department of Education said the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) “publicly announced plans to violate federal antidiscrimination laws related to girls’ and women’s sports.” The department is also investigating the Minnesota State High School League.

CIF has said it plans to continue following California law regarding transgender athletics participation despite President Trump’s executive order that makes transgender athletes ineligible

A day after a probe was opened into the CIF for allowing transgender athletes to play girls' sports, a federal judge blocked President Trump's executive orders restricting gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youths.
