Eric Iverson, a US citizen & prosecutor at the #InternationalCriminalCourt who says #Trump's #ExecutiveOrder threatening #sanctions against the #ICC has effectively stopped his investigation of #WarCrimes in #Darfur.

“Plaintiff files this suit to challenge Defendants' imposition of overbroad & ultra vires sanctions that violate his #FirstAmendment rights & that exceed the statutory limits that #Congress has imposed on the President's use of sanctions.“

Plaintiff does not work and has not worked on any investigation involving "protected persons." He has waited for several months for the Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) to issue regulations that narrow the needlessly broad sweep of the executive order, or to grant a license that would enable him to resume his investigation of crimes committed in Darfur. No regulations or license have been forthcoming. Therefore, Plaintiff files this suit to challenge Defendants' imposition of overbroad and ultra vires sanctions that violate his First Amendment rights and that exceed the statutory limits that Congress has imposed on the President's use of sanctions. On those bases, Plaintiff asks this Court to declare that the executive order violates the First Amendment and is ultra vires, and to enjoin its enforcement against him.

🔴 EU Struggles to Cut Russian Gas Ties

🔸 Roadmap to end Russian gas imports coming, but existing contracts hinder moves without sanctions.
🔸 Russia still supplies 19% of EU gas; "take-or-pay" deals require payment even without delivery.
🔸 Legal exit via “force majeure” unlikely; Hungary & Slovakia oppose new sanctions.
