$TRUMP #ICC Order #BLOCKED by #Federal #Judge !
🚨 President Trump’s sweeping ICC sanctions executive order hit a major roadblock—enforcement has been blocked by a federal court!
📅 Signed Feb 6, 2025, the order aimed to sanction anyone aiding the International Criminal Court (ICC), including its prosecutor Karim Khan.
👩⚖️ But U.S. District Judge Nancy Torresen ruled the order violates free speech, calling it an unconstitutional curb on Americans’ rights .
🗣️ Judge Torresen:
> “It broadly prohibits any speech‑based services that benefit the prosecutor… regardless of whether those services relate to an ICC investigation of the U.S. or its allies.”
🌍 Impact? Huge. Trump’s move was backed by the American Service members’ Protection Act and aimed to shield U.S. & allied personnel. But the ruling pauses sanctions on ICC officials and halts Trump’s push to isolate the court .
⚖️ Next Steps:
The White House can appeal, but the decision reflects a growing judicial check on aggressive executive powers.
ICC and international backers cheered—saying the block preserves accountability and rule of law.
