Bill > S2935

This bill, known as the Sovereign Enforcement Integrity Act of 2025, prohibits state and local law enforcement officers from arresting or detaining foreign nationals solely based on warrants, indictments, or requests from the International Criminal Court (ICC). The bill recognizes that the United States is not a party to the ICC's Rome Statute and asserts that the federal government has exclusive authority over foreign relations. Under the bill, state and local law enforcement agencies are forbidden from cooperating with the ICC, using resources to support ICC actions, or arresting foreign nationals based on ICC documents. There are two exceptions to these prohibitions: if Congress specifically authorizes cooperation in a particular case, or if the President certifies that cooperation is essential to a national security interest and provides written authorization. The bill also includes provisions that preempt any state or local laws that might conflict with its provisions and includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is found unconstitutional, the rest of the act remains in effect.
