US EditionFederal judge blocks enforcement of Trump's order on ICC
MAINE, UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – US District Judge Nancy Torresen ruled Trump's sanctions order likely violates free speech by broadly restricting services aiding the International Criminal Court, blocking penalties on Americans.
- On Friday in Washington, DC, U.S. District Judge Nancy Torresen halted the implementation of President Trump's February 6 directive aimed at individuals involved with the International Criminal Court.
- The ruling came after two human rights campaigners filed a lawsuit in April opposing the executive order that permitted extensive economic and travel sanctions against ICC officials investigating U.S. nationals or allied countries like Israel.
- The executive order targeted ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan by adding him to the U.S. Treasury's list of sanctioned individuals and warned that Americans who provide him with services could face legal consequences, prompting criticism from the ICC, which argued the move undermines its independent and impartial judicial functions.
- Judge Torresen ruled the executive order likely violates the First Amendment, stating it 'restricts substantially more speech than necessary' and constitutes an unconstitutional free speech infringement.
- The decision prevents penalties on U.S. citizens for working with ICC officials, signals judicial pushback against expansive executive sanctions, and underscores ongoing tension between the U.S. government and the ICC.
