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.

‘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.
