Penalties for States Cooperating with ICC Against US Allies.

This law introduces financial penalties for state and local governments that arrest or assist the International Criminal Court (ICC) in detaining officials from NATO countries or other key US allies. If a state violates this prohibition, it risks losing federal grants for a four-year period, potentially impacting the funding of local public services and programs. The President, however, can waive the penalty if the cooperation is deemed essential to US national security.
Key points
Loss of Federal Grants: States and local governments cooperating with the ICC to arrest allied officials will lose access to federal grant funding for four years.
Protection of Allies: The provisions aim to shield current and former officials of NATO members and Major Non-NATO Allies from ICC actions within US territory.
Impact on Local Finances: The loss of grants could restrict funds allocated to local programs, such as public safety or justice initiatives.
