State and local police could not arrest foreign nationals just because the International Criminal Court issued paperwork. The federal government would decide when help with the ICC is allowed.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Sovereign Enforcement Integrity Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Latest action on H.R. 5411: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects state and local police, foreign nationals in the United States, and federal officials who handle foreign policy and national security. It tells local officers when they must stay out of ICC arrest requests. It also gives Congress and the President the main role in deciding when the United States helps the ICC in a specific case.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it decides who controls ICC arrest requests inside the United States. Today, a state or city might try to help with an ICC request under its own policy. This bill would make that a federal decision instead. It could protect against mixed state responses, but it could also make ICC cooperation harder unless Congress or the President acts.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
