Omar Pushes U.S. to Join ICC Amid Rubio's Dismantling Threat

Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar introduced a congressional resolution urging the United States to officially join the International Criminal Court (ICC), challenging the Trump administration's foreign policy. This resolution comes after U.S.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowed to dismantle the ICC, igniting debate over America's commitment to human rights. Omar stated that the ICC is crucial for victims of global atrocities seeking justice.
