## Summary

**Prohibits state and local enforcement of International Criminal Court (ICC) warrants.** This bill would stop state, territorial, District of Columbia, and local officers from executing, honoring, or assisting with ICC warrants, indictments, summonses, or other process on U.S. soil unless strict federal authorization exists. - State and local officers would be barred from arresting, detaining, or depriving a foreign national of liberty based solely on an ICC request. It would also bar use of public funds, facilities, personnel, or equipment to carry out such actions. - Foreign nationals in the United States could not be detained under ICC processes without explicit federal approval.
