The Trump administration has launched investigations and even filed lawsuits to confront this wave of accidents. But the press secretary Caroline Levit suggested that the administration could go forward.

At a press conference on April 18, while discussing Maine’s challenge on this issue, Levitt confirmed Trump’s order and its ninth address as a federal law, indicating that violations can be prosecuted.

Since then, many Democratic states such as Main and California have rejected Trump’s demands.

Fox News Digital told the NCAA previous swimmer and conservative influencer, Riley Gaines, the leading number of national movement to keep males from women’s sports, will support prosecution as a reaction to this case.

“I would like to see the claim because I think what is happening is my criminal,” Jeans said. “The way we were told that the man’s feelings are more important than our physical safety, more than our rights to participate, to summon ourselves our heroes, I think this is a criminal act, so I think it is a criminal crime.

“Someone must be an example of this, otherwise you will get the Democratic Party that hates women in the foreground.

Genins, who was associated with transit swimmers Leah Thomas at the 2022 NCAA Women’s Championship, was not among many women who were affected by the participation of Thomas. This event was hosted at the Georgia Institute of Technology and said it believes that the head of the school, Angel Kapreira, is one of the first landmarks to be in the case on this issue.

“I think university officials should be accused. I definitely think that in Georgia, the President of Georgia Technology, who continued to be very arrogant, who continued not to revive any of the allegations that we had happened on his deck,” said Jins about those who must be tried.

Fox News Digital has arrived at Georgia Tech to comment.

Gaines leads a lawsuit against NCAA About her experience with Thomas, along with many other women’s swimmers who competed in the 2022 championship. Among those prosecutors are the former swimmer at the University of Kentucky Kaitlin Wheeler and the former swimming of the University of North Carolina Kylie Alons.

Both Weller and Lines agree with jeans in supporting the criminal prosecution against officials who allowed the converted athletes to compete in women’s sports.

“I think that if schools, official countries, whatever they are, they defy the law and violate the ninth title, especially by forcing girls to share tank rooms, change in front of boys, and lose their chances, everything is supposed to defend the ninth title, and I think that there should be dire consequences,” Wheeler told Fox News Digital.

“We are not only talking about politics differences, but it is intentionally related to standing on the intention of women and girls. If you break the federal law, there must be consequences as Riley said, and if that means prosecution in some of these states, then, yes,.”

Alons asked how one could not be in favor of prosecution against these officials.

“When you see the damage that causes women and girls, how you can Don’t you want to support this challenge to prosecute? “There is a lot of harm that is being done and it is clear that there is a law for some reason, because it causes harm, so I definitely support more than just empty threats. “

A lawyer who represents Guinness, Wheeler, Lines and other women in a lawsuit against NCAA, William Book of the Independent Women’s Sports Council, not only supports the idea of ​​trying officials who leave the case, but he believes “necessary.”

“At this stage, there is no excuse, the executive has been present since February 5,” Book told Fox News Digital. “People have known for four months now, and if after three months, you are still intentionally challenging federal law, then of course from logical, and it is clear that it is necessary to protect women.”

To date, Trump’s enforcement of his executive order has extended to freeze financing to the University of Pennsylvania, where Thomas and the temporary financing cat competed against Maine, which has ended since then, and the Ministry of Justice’s lawsuit against Min as well.

The Trump administration launched investigations against three other sports championships for secondary schools (California, Minnesota and Massachusetts) and gave California Ministry of Justice a final date for this next Monday to amend its policies that allow athletes converted in girls’ sports.

Gaines, Wheler and Alons find Trump’s position on a “refreshing” issue, but she generally wants to see more procedures.

“I hope we see enough with the warnings, so I feel,” Jeans said. “We are ready to see some procedures.”

“The executive is a good start, but we need more than this signature. We really need to be implemented that will replace his presidency … it is a step in the right direction, but we are not satisfied.”

At the level of the college, Trump’s executive order has changed the NCAA qualification policy in NCAA just one day after signing the matter. Unlike ancient policy, the new policy confirms that only females can only compete in the category of women in official competition.

However, the new policy has been subjected to severe criticism by women’s rights activists since it was signed for not presenting any concrete plan of how to impose policy and the failure to enforce sexual tests.

In late March, the Ethaka College in New York admitted to allowing a converted athlete to compete in the rowing competition in the third section, and told Fox News Digter that the participation of a sports sports was due to “misunderstanding” by the training staff about what was considered an official event for NCAA, and they referred to the policy for male practice players.

NCAA made a statement of Fox News Digital, saying that the competition competed by Ethaka Sports “will be considered a mixed and unqualified team to compete against women’s teams. Ethaka stated its intention to adhere to the policy that allows the chances of practice and NCAA estimates the ITHAA response.”

But NCAA did not indicate that the results of the event will be canceled or that Ethaka will face any consequences.

The initial goal of the Gaines vs. NCAA is to force the ruling body to remove biological males from the entire women’s college sports. Following the change of policy, the goal of the lawsuit remains sound but also expanded.

“We have contacted NCAA and their lawyers and gave them the opportunity to resolve this issue at least, if we cannot reach an agreement on accountability on the past, in setting a policy that has already protecting women and has some ability to implement it and ensures that women only participate in total sports.”

“We have put it in writing and did not drop this path with us … their policy is without teeth and is not effective and does not protect women’s rights.”

Book added that their lawsuit will also seek cash damage to all athletes who were affected.

“These are great damage and there were several hundreds of women who have been harmed and we believe that the jury in Georgia will find that the amount of the damage is very important.”
