A US federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from placing sanctions on two US-based human rights groups for working to help the international criminal court’s (ICC) investigations into war crimes in Gaza.
asserted
judge → block → Gaza
In a 30-page order issued on Tuesday, Jesse M Furman, a judge at the US district court for the southern district of New York, granted a preliminary injunction to the two groups, Democracy for the Arab World Now (Dawn) and Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide (Taag).
asserted
Furman → issue → Genocide
The two organizations sued the Trump administration this summer, challenging an executive order issued in February 2025 that imposed sanctions against the ICC.
asserted
that → sue → ICC
The order warned the US government would “impose tangible and significant consequences” on people involved in investigations that Washington said threatened the national security of the US or its allies, including Israel.
asserted
Washington → warn → Israel
The order came after the ICC issued arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
asserted
ICC → come → Gaza
Both men have rejected accusations against them, and the US government also opposed the court’s decision to issue the warrants.
asserted
government → reject → warrants
In his opinion, Furman noted that last year two law professors brought a separate lawsuit challenging the 2025 executive order, and that the court had held that the order “violated those plaintiffs’ first amendment rights because it constituted a content-based regulation of their speech-based activities and did not survive strict scrutiny”.
asserted
it → note → scrutiny
Furman said that this lawsuit brought by Dawn and Taag – groups he described as “American advocacy organizations” – raised a “substantially similar challenge”.
asserted
he → say → challenge
He wrote that the groups were challenging the 2025 order on “both statutory and constitutional grounds, re-upping many of the arguments made in the earlier cases”.
asserted
groups → write → cases
Dawn and Taag are rights groups that had worked to gather information for the ICC as it investigated allegations of war crimes against Palestinians.
asserted
it → work → Palestinians
“The court concludes that the 2025 order likely violates plaintiffs’ first amendment rights because it constitutes a content-based regulation of their speech-based activities and cannot survive strict scrutiny,” Furman wrote.
asserted
Furman → conclude → scrutiny
However, the judge stopped short of declaring the executive order “facially unconstitutional” and rejected the groups’ request to “enjoin the president and to enter a ‘universal’ injunction barring enforcement of the 2025 order against anyone”.
asserted
order → stop → anyone
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Guardian on the ruling.
asserted
House → respond → ruling
The state department also did not immediately respond, but told the New York Times in a statement: “The Trump administration has been clear: the ICC poses an intolerable threat to US sovereignty.”
asserted
ICC → respond → sovereignty
Joseph Pace, a lawyer for Dawn and Taag, described Tuesday’s decision as “a victory for the first amendment and an important step in unraveling the ICC sanctions regime”.
asserted
Pace → describe → regime
And in a statement, Omar Shakir, Dawn’s executive director, said: “Today, a US federal court has put the brakes in a major way on the Trump administration’s efforts to shield from justice the Israeli officials who have perpetrated a genocide and their US backers.”
asserted
who → say → genocide
Dawn also said that it would “immediately resume” its advocacy with the ICC “to prosecute Israeli and American perpetrators of grave crimes”.
asserted
it → say → crimes
The ruling comes just days after the US imposed financial sanctions on the ICC.
asserted
US → come → ICC
