Save Women's Sports activists thank Pam Bondi for Title IX enforcement after her departure from DOJ

Steve Yates, former deputy national security advisor for Vice President Cheney, reflects on Attorney General Pam Bondi's significant contributions, especially in fighting illicit fentanyl and advocating for victims.

As Pam Bondi steps away as U.S. Attorney General, her help with the national movement to Save Women's Sports has been commended by figures involved in the fight.

During Bondi's tenure, she initiated DOJ lawsuits against state education agencies in Maine, California and Minnesota for policies that allowed biological male transgender athletes to compete in girls high school sports.

Former NCAA women's soccer player Sophia Lorey, now a prominent Southern California-based conservative activist and influencer, told Fox News Digital her reaction to recent news of Bondi's departure as AG.

"I’m grateful for Attorney General Bondi’s leadership in standing up for girls sports and defending fairness for female athletes. Her efforts reflected an administration that has made protecting women and girls a clear priority. From Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, I’ve seen a consistent and coordinated commitment to this issue at the highest levels," Lorey said.

"Regardless of personnel changes, I remain encouraged that protecting the integrity of women’s sports continues to be a signature focus of President Trump’s administration, and I hope to see that commitment carried forward with strength and clarity."
