Several Republican representatives, including Rep. Chip Roy, Rep. Andy Barr, and Rep. Elise Stefanik, are advocating for the reimposition of Trump-era sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC). They argue that the ICC has no legitimate authority to target US citizens, servicemembers, or Israeli leaders defending against terrorists. The representatives have introduced bills such as the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act (HR 8282) to punish ICC officials and protect US sovereignty and Israel's right to self-defense.
The ICC threatening our ally Israel over protecting its own country is ridiculous. @HouseGOP should pass Rep. Roy, @RepBrianMast, and @RepStefanik's bill (HR 8282) to reinstate Trump era sanctions on the ICC immediately. https://t.co/pHWfmZRtGV
The ICC seeking arrest warrants for Israeli leaders because they’re protecting their country is absurd. The ICC is an illegitimate court and should be sanctioned immediately – Rep. Roy, @RepBrianMast, and @RepStefanik have the bill to do it (HR 8282). https://t.co/bLCoFpIYL1
The International Criminal Court has no authority to seek arrest warrants for Israel’s democratically elected officials who are defending themselves against ruthless terrorists. We must continue to stand strong with Israel as they fight for their survival. 🇮🇱
The ICC is an illegitimate court and has no jurisdiction in Israel. We should reimpose President Trump's sanctions IMMEDIATELY. I stand with my colleagues to ensure Congress passes this bill. https://t.co/3x8rLCtUUA
The Trump administration was right to impose sanctions on the ICC. @HouseGOP must pass Rep. Roy, @RepBrianMast, and @RepStefanik's bill (HR 8282) to reimpose sanctions on the ICC for targeting our ally Israel. Thank you @SenTomCotton for your leadership on this in the Senate. https://t.co/yyKC03JOHo
The ICC is an illegitimate court that equivocates a peaceful nation protecting its right to exist with radical terror groups that commit genocide. Congress must pass my bill with @RepChipRoy, the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, that will punish those in the ICC that made…
The International Criminal Court has no legitimate authority to infringe on the sovereign right of a democratic country to defend itself against terrorists. The U.S. must stand for Israel’s right of self-defense and immediately sanction ICC officials. https://t.co/5QcoEnlXMQ
The ICC is an illegitimate court that represents a massive threat to US sovereignty. @HouseGOP should pass Rep. Roy and @RepBrianMast's bill to reimpose Trump Era sanctions on the ICC if they dare go after US citizens, servicemembers, or our allies. https://t.co/LApVdexlMM
