§4 of EO 14203 imposes entry restrictions on ICC-affiliated individuals

  1. Original Date Announced

    February 6, 2025

    Sec. 4 of presidential EO 14203, "Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court," (ICC) suspends the entry of ICC officials, employees, agents, and their immediate family members into the U.S. "except where the Secretary of State determines that the entry of the person into the United States would not be contrary to the interests of the United States." ICC-affiliated individuals are to be treated as persons covered by section 1 of Proclamation 8693 of July 24, 2011 (Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to United Nations Security Council Travel Bans and International Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions).

    President Trump stated that entry restrictions and other sanctions are being implemented because the ICC overstepped its jurisdiction and abused its power by opening investigations into and issuing arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant.
