President Donald Trump says he has directed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to deny the visas of transgender athletes seeking to enter the U.S.
Trump shared the news during the signing of his executive order on Wednesday to keep men out of women’s sports.
“In Los Angeles in 2028, my administration will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes, and we’re just not going to let it happen, and it’s going to end,” Trump said.
“And it’s ending right now, and nobody’s going to be able to do a damn thing about it because when I speak, we speak with authority. And, for the same reason — just to make sure, I’m also directing our Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem……to deny any and all visa applications made by men attempting to fraudulently enter the United States while identifying themselves as women athletes, trying [to] get into the games,” he added.
Trump’s signing of the order called “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” gives federal agencies the power to enforce groups that receive federal funding to follow Title IX in alignment with Trump’s order that defines “sex” as the gender someone was assigned at birth.
“With this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over,” Trump said.
“We’re putting every school receiving taxpayer dollars on notice, that if you let men take over women’s sports teams or invade your locker rooms, you will be investigated for violations of Title 9 and risk your federal funding,” Trump explained. “There will be no federal funding.”
As RSBN previously reported, the order will also involve the work of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who will be informing the International Olympic Committees to send a clear message: “America categorically rejects transgender lunacy.”
He said his administration “will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes.”
The 2028 Summer Olympic Games will be hosted in Los Angeles from July 15-30 with Trump still in office. He previously stated that he will make it the “greatest games.”
