California officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom, have announced their refusal to comply with Donald Trump's directive that aims to restrict transgender athletes from participating in K-12 sports. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon issued a 10-day ultimatum for California to rescind its trans-inclusionary policies, citing violations of federal law. However, California stands firm, asserting that the proposed agreement would contravene its existing laws that permit students to engage in sports aligned with their gender identity. The state views the directive as politically motivated and lacking legal grounds.
