Rep. Chip Roy from Texas and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah have put forward the ICC Out of NYC Act, a legislative proposal aimed at prohibiting United Nations properties in New York City from being utilized by the International Criminal Court (ICC). The legislators argue that the ICC has historically acted against American interests and those of its allies.

Congressman Roy stated, "The ICC should be sanctioned and - at the very least - shouldn't have an office at the United Nations. Congress needs to take swift action to deport them from New York."

Senator Lee emphasized that "The United States is not a signatory to the International Criminal Court, a body outside of American law that has repeatedly threatened the sovereignty of America and her allies across the globe. We have our own laws, and we can enforce them on criminals ourselves. Americans should not play host to an organization that pretends to have made-up power over them."
