President Trump's sanctions against the International Criminal Court are preventing Americans from helping the court prosecute the gravest international crimes.
Our clients are suing the Trump administration because the First Amendment protects speech that aids the ICC's work.

How sanctions imposed by Trump are taking a toll on the International Criminal Court
The International Criminal Court, or ICC, only intervenes when national courts can't or won't prosecute crimes like genocide and crimes against humanity. But after the Trump administration sanctioned several members of the court this year, Americans trying to prosecute some of the world's worst crimes at the ICC are discovering those sanctions are preventing them from doing that.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Fifteen million are about to lose health care. Premiums are set to double. Housing & child care are outrageously expensive.
Meanwhile, Trump’s priorities are demolishing the White House, bailing out Argentina & now threatening war with Venezuela.

This is what oligarchy looks like:
Trump gave corporate America a $920 billion tax break.
Now, corporations like Amazon, Meta, Apple, Google & Lockheed Martin are returning the favor by giving Trump $300 million for a fancy ballroom.
That’s a pretty good return on investment.

Congress established an emergency fund to ensure that millions of Americans on SNAP continue to receive nutrition assistance when funding expires in November.
Mr. President: Don’t let kids go hungry. Use these emergency funds to feed low-income families.

During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry?

Why bother making an actual trade deal when you can just announce a new “framework” every few months and manipulate the markets?
