The bill would bar state and local officers from arresting or detaining foreign nationals solely under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant, indictment, summons, or other process. It would also bar them from helping the ICC carry out such an arrest or detention, or using public funds, facilities, staff, or equipment for that purpose. The restrictions would not apply if Congress authorizes cooperation in a specific case, or if the President certifies to Congress that cooperation is essential to a declared national security interest and gives specific written authorization. The bill would override conflicting state and local laws or rules.
State and local law enforcement could not act on an ICC process alone to arrest or detain a foreign national or assist the ICC with that action, unless one of the federal exceptions applies. The bill does not describe other effects on individuals.
