Voted to pass H.R. 23, the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, 243-140. It would have punished foreigners who help the International Criminal Court investigate or arrest Americans or allied citizens. The penalties would have been frozen U.S. assets and a ban on entering the country, reaching their close family too. It would also have cut off all U.S. money for the court. The Senate blocked it on January 28, 2025, so it never became law.
