American Allies Protection Act

This bill would bar the U.S. Attorney General from awarding, renewing, or extending grants for four years to a state, territory, the District of Columbia, or any local government whose officials arrest or detain a current or former government official of a NATO member or Major Non-NATO Ally based only on an International Criminal Court warrant or other process. The same penalty would apply if those officials cooperate with or assist the International Criminal Court in making such an arrest or detention. The Attorney General could waive the penalty if the President certifies to specified congressional committees that the action is essential to U.S. national security, with a detailed justification.
