Case Summary

(This summary is temporary, while we research the case). 

On June 24, 2026, three judges of the International Criminal Court sued President Trump, the Departments of State, Treasury, and Justice, OFAC, and their heads in their official capacities in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The State Department designated two of the judges for a decision authorizing the Afghanistan investigation, and another judge for their role in the November 2024 arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. 

The plaintiffs challenged Trump's decision to impose sanctions on the judges, which has caused the judges to face asset freezes, travel bans and restrictions on services from U.S. companies. Plaintiffs contend that the sanctions exceed the President's authority under IEEPA and the National Emergencies Act.
