Trump vows ‘large scale fines’ after transgender athlete wins California track and field events
- A transgender girl, A.B. Hernandez, won multiple events at California's state track and field championships over the weekend under a rule allowing trans athletes to compete.
- The competition followed a CIF rule permitting transgender participation, which caused controversy and prompted President Trump to threaten fines and pull federal funding from California.
- CIF implemented a compromise letting cisgender athletes receive medals corresponding to where they would have placed without Hernandez, while protests and official opposition surfaced at the event.
- Trump posted on Truth Social that he had warned Governor Newsom not to allow the participation and vowed “large scale fines” if the policy continued, linking federal funding to compliance with his February executive order.
- The events highlight ongoing legal and political battles over transgender athletes in sports, with federal officials demanding schools bar trans participation by June 9 and further disputes expected.
