By Daphne Psaledakis WASHINGTON, June 24 (Reuters) - Three International Criminal Court judges on Wednesday sued U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration over sanctions imposed on themlast year, arguing the measures were unlawful. In the lawsuit filed in the federal court in Manhattan, judges Kimberly Prost of Canada, Solomy Balungi Bossa of Uganda and Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini-Gansou of Benin said the sanctions were designed to exert extrajudicial pressure with the objective of punishing and coercing the judges.

target="_blank" >played the matchups</a> in high-leverage situations regardless of the inning or save opportunity, often turning to flame-throwing reliever Grant Taylor in the biggest moments but also showing faith in lanky southern Illinois native Bryan Hudson.</p><p>Now, after a tough month for Dominguez with a pair of blown saves against division rivals, Venable is taking the Sox’ big-money reliever out of the late-game equation — at least for now.</p><p>The 31-year-old veteran, who played in the World Series last season for the Blue Jays, pitched a scoreless sixth inning in Sunday’s loss to the Royals, the earliest he’d entered a game this season.</p><p>Venable called it “a little bit of a lower-leverage spot to get him back on line, and obviously he did a great job.”</p><p>“It’s just a little bump in the road, but we are not worried about titles or changing roles,” Venable said. “It’s about getting him in a good spot and getting him back on line.”</p><p>The second-year manager told Dominguez last week that he’d be seeing earlier action in lower-pressure situations to get back on track, after Dominguez blew his fourth and fifth saves of the season on consecutive days against the Tigers and Guardians.</p><p>The first outing of his reset went well enough, with Dominguez giving up a single and striking out two, including All-Star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. to end the inning.</p><p>“It made me feel good, because the things that I’ve been working on got a good result,” said Dominguez, who’s taking the demotion, however temporary, in stride.</p><div

PoliticalUpdate🇺🇸United States 🇺🇬Uganda 🇧🇯BJ+1yesterday

‘Financial death penalty’: How US sanctions are upending the lives of ICC judges Three International Criminal Court (ICC) judges have had their bank accounts frozen, lost their health insurance and were cut off from basic financial services as a result of sanctions imposed by the Trump administration, a  complaint  filed in a New York federal court reveals. US  sanctions, imposed under  Executive Order 14203  signed by President Donald Trump in February 2025, led to consequences that stretch far beyond the professional lives of the three judges. The measures have affected their freedom of movement, their physical security, their families and their ability to carry out basic daily transactions.

<p>DETROIT — What makes the <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox" target="_blank" >White Sox</a>’ playoff push unusual is that they’re doing it with players lacking major-league experience. And some of them aren’t just lacking that, they’re lacking it at the position they’re playing.</p><p>Case in point: Jacob Gonzalez.</p><p>The Sox called up Gonzalez with the intention of playing him at first base after Munetaka Murakami suffered a strained right hamstring May 29, even though Gonzalez, primarily a shortstop, had started only five games there in his college and minor-league careers. He forced his way onto the roster with 19 home runs in 52 games at Triple-A Charlotte this season.</p><p>‘‘He’s here to play first base for us,’’ manager Will Venable said days after Gonzalez’s call-up.

<p>NEW YORK — Facing the Yankees is personal for Sean Burke, having grown up as a Red Sox fan in Sutton, Massachusetts. So after holding the Bronx Bombers to one run in 7 ⅓ innings, he had a message:</p><p>“This one’s for my boys back home,” he said.</p><p>It’s also for White Sox fans, who surely breathed a sigh of relief when Andrew Benintendi hit a tiebreaking pinch-hit, first-pitch grand slam in the eighth to reward Burke and give his team a 5-1 victory, avoiding a three-game sweep.</p><p>After being pummeled 12-2 and 10-5 in the first two games of the series, the Sox held the Yankees to six hits, thanks to the work of opener Bryan Hudson, who threw 1 ⅔ innings, and Burke. They also combined for 10 strikeouts, eight from Burke.</p><p>“You’re hoping for a quality outing from him,” manager Will Venable said.

<p>If you thought the division-leading Braves and Dodgers were going to put the White Sox in their place before they visited Rate Field, you weren’t alone. An at-best .500 record on the six-game homestand could’ve been seen as a moral victory, with lessons learned at the foot of baseball’s best.</p><p>But after the Sox beat the Dodgers 6-4 on Sunday to go 4-1 on the abbreviated homestand, the only ones learning lessons are those doubters. The Sox keep checking off boxes for being considered a serious playoff contender, and they have another chance this week against another first-place team, the Yankees.</p><p>“I think you should stop thinking of this as a surprise just because we’re consistently winning, we’re consistently in every game,” said shortstop Colson Montgomery, who hit one of three home runs in a six-run sixth inning.

Later in the game, Antonacci — a natural second baseman learning outfield on the job — made an impressive jumping catch at the wall to rob Bryson Stott of extra bases.</p><p>Kay got the hook after walking Bryce Harper to open the bottom of the fifth inning.
