Three judges from the International Criminal Court (ICC) have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in New York. The legal action stems from sanctions that were imposed in February 2025. According to the judges, these sanctions have had severe consequences, including the freezing of their personal bank accounts. Furthermore, their health insurance has been revoked, and their capacity to carry out essential daily transactions has been significantly restricted.
