Co-sponsoring the legislation are Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) and Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), and Tim Scott (R-South Carolina). The senators’ bill is companion legislation to Congressman Chip Roy’s (Texas-21) legislation that passed the House.

 “The ICC is a kangaroo court that has no authority to target America or Israel. Chuck Schumer should take up this bipartisan, House-passed legislation to make clear we will punish this court if they target Americans or our allies,” said Senator Cotton.

 The Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act would:

• Sanction and revoke visas for those involved in prosecuting U.S., Israeli, or any other allied citizen wrongfully targeted by the ICC.
