Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has issued a venomous warning that sports teams not obeying the ban on biological men in women's sports could be sued, prosecuted or have their federal funding taken away.
Leavitt referenced the state of Maine being sued by the Department of Justice as an example of what could happen to those who defy federal law.
Maine's Governor Janet Mills refused to ban transgender athletes participating in women's sports, and in response, Trump threatened to take away Maine's education funding.
“The president signed a very strong executive order making it the policy of the United States federal government that there are only two sexes, male and female,” Leavitt said.
“We are not going to tolerate biological men competing in sports or impeding in private spaces for women.”
