ICC Denounces US Sanctions as ‘Flagrant Attack’ on International Legal Order
“When judicial actors are threatened for applying the law, it is the international legal order itself that is placed at risk,” the ICC said. “Threats and coercive measures also impact the ability of victims to seek justice, as they turn to the court when all other avenues have been exhausted.”
However, the court said that it is “undeterred” from pursuing its mission, while pledging to stand “firmly behind its personnel and behind victims of unimaginable atrocities.”

Let the UN use this to strengthen its rule of law, as the US citizens will uphold the rule of law
They're an attack on US domestic legal order too since the president doesn't have the power to create taxes and the current supreme court already ruled against tariffs imposed previously by this president. The current US Congress is among the most useless in the country's history at a time when the president is also the worst.
So fucking arrest him and his cronies then. Toss ‘em in jail forever.
