House passes ICC sanctions resolution with 42 Democrats breaking from party

Published June 4, 2024 4:46pm ET



The House passed a resolution on Tuesday that would impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court if it attempts to prosecute the United States or its allies, a move championed by Republicans as the party touts strong support of Israel in its war with Hamas.

The Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), passed the lower chamber, 247 to 155, with two members voting “present.” Twenty-seven members did not vote. Forty-two Democrats joined 205 Republicans in voting in favor of the resolution.
