Prohibiting State Arrests of Foreign Nationals Based on ICC Requests
This act prevents state and local law enforcement from arresting foreign nationals solely based on International Criminal Court (ICC) requests, unless explicitly authorized by the federal government. This aims to protect U.S. foreign policy interests and ensure that decisions regarding foreign nationals are made at the federal level, potentially impacting how non-citizens are treated within the U.S.
