US Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter Tuesday to the three states saying the Justice Department will cut federal funding to them if they continue to allow transgender athletes to play on

Pam Bondi issued letters to officials in Minnesota, Maine and Calfornia on Tuesday warning them to keep trans women from competing in girls' sports.

The Education Department has also launched investigations into state transgender policies, a key step in the process of pulling federal funding from an educational institution, which has not been done in decades.
