Because Crimes Against Humanity Deserve a Passport Stamp
Today we’re not just dragging fascists—we’re airmailing receipts to the freakin’ International Criminal Court. Yes, that ICC. The one in The Hague. The one that investigates war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. You know, the kind of résumé Trump seems to treat like a damn vision board.
So if you’re asking, “Can I really tattle to the ICC about America’s orange wannabe dictator?” the answer is
HELL YES YOU CAN.
And Resistance Kitty is here to help you do just that—with claws sharpened and international postage paid.
Current ICC Cases
As of May 2025, former President Donald Trump is not facing any lawsuits filed by the International Criminal Court (ICC). However, his administration’s actions toward the ICC have led to significant legal challenges within the United States.(The Guardian)
Executive Order 14203 and Its Implications
On February 6, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14203, imposing sanctions on the ICC. These sanctions included asset freezes and travel bans targeting ICC officials, notably Prosecutor Karim Khan, in response to the ICC’s issuance of arrest warrants against Israeli leaders for alleged war crimes in Gaza. The order also prohibited U.S. citizens and entities from providing services or support to sanctioned ICC officials, under threat of civil and criminal penalties .(Wikipedia, The US Sun, Just Security)
Domestic Legal Challenges
The executive order has prompted several lawsuits in U.S. federal courts, arguing that the sanctions infringe upon constitutional rights:(Human Rights First)
- Iverson v. Trump: Filed by Human Rights First on behalf of Eric Iverson, a U.S. Army veteran and ICC prosecutor. The lawsuit contends that the sanctions violate Iverson’s First Amendment rights by criminalizing his work prosecuting war crimes in Darfur, as his supervisor, Prosecutor Khan, is sanctioned .(Human Rights First)
- Smith v. Trump: Brought by the ACLU and ACLU of Maine on behalf of two human rights advocates. The plaintiffs argue that the executive order unlawfully restricts their ability to share information and collaborate with the ICC, infringing upon their First Amendment rights and exceeding presidential authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act .(American Civil Liberties Union, Just Security)
- Rona v. Trump: Filed by two law professors who have advised the ICC. They claim the sanctions violate their First and Fifth Amendment rights by impeding their academic and legal work related to international justice .(Just Security, Human Rights First)

👩⚖️ Step 2: Know the Crimes (Yes, Plural)
We’re not talking about unpaid parking tickets or bad spray tans. We’re talking Crimes Against Humanity—the big, scary ones from the Rome Statute’s “Oh Shit” section. Here’s what we’re serving up:
1. 🧊 Family Separation & Kid Cages
- Trump’s “zero tolerance” border policy ripped over 5,000 children from their families.
- Some were toddlers. Many were never reunited.
- That’s inhumane acts and persecution under ICC Article 7.
- All done as a deterrent. Not as justice. As cruelty.
2. 💀 Letting COVID Kill People on Purpose
- Trump intentionally downplayed the virus and mocked safety measures.
- He withheld aid from states he didn’t like.
- That’s not leadership. That’s negligent manslaughter with a megaphone.
- It might qualify as extermination or inhumane treatment when viewed through a global lens.
3. 🏛️ Inciting a Coup on January 6th
- He lit the match, watched it burn, and said “We love you” to the arsonists.
- That was an attack on civilians and democracy.
- It was systematic, organized, and encouraged. That’s ICC-worthy behavior.
4. ✈️ Mass Deportations & Targeting Legal Immigrants
- Trump revoked protections for hundreds of thousands, including DACA and TPS recipients.
- He deported people during legal proceedings and under duress.
- Forced population transfers? Check.
5. 🏳️🌈 Weaponizing the Government Against Marginalized People
- He attacked LGBTQ+ rights, encouraged white supremacists, and dehumanized anyone who wasn’t part of his golf club.
- This was persecution on a mass scale—executive orders, policy rollbacks, and Twitter threats wrapped in a red hat.
🐱 Step 3: Send the Letter
Ready to be a legal menace for justice? Here’s a Resistance Kitty-approved letter template for your ICC submission
📝 Bonus Round: Rally the Kitty Claws
Don’t send one letter. Send TEN. Get your friends. Get your group chat. Get your grandma who still hates Nixon. Make it a damn Hague-themed brunch.
This isn’t just about Trump. This is about setting a precedent:
If you commit crimes against humanity—even in the Land of Freedom Fries—you will be held accountable. Somewhere. Somehow. And if not now? Then later. Because fascism doesn’t go away on its own—it has to be clawed down, one subpoena at a time.
🎯 TODAY’S TO-DO LIST
- 🖨️ Download & send the ICC letter
- 📣 Share this post with your activist group
- 🐾 Post a selfie with “SEND HIM TO THE HAGUE” in your IG stories
- 🚨 Start tracking Trump’s travel—if he steps foot in a Rome Statute country, things could get spicy
🐾 FINAL CLAW
You don’t need to be a lawyer to demand justice. You just need a printer, a backbone, and a grudge. Let’s make sure The Hague knows what we already do: Trump’s legacy isn’t “America First”—it’s “Humanity Last.”
And the Resistance doesn’t forget.
Meow and justice,
—Resistance Kitty

Hi –
Thanks for putting all of this together.
I think I spotted an auto text error that might have been missed.
Under :
Step 2: Know the Crimes (Yes, Plural)
1. 🧊 Family Separation & Kid Cages
Trump’s “zero tolerance” border policy …..
“That’s inhumane acts and persecution”
Was that meant to be prosecution ?
He’s already got the victim act down.
Just thinking that he and his base don’t need unintended evidence of “persecuting” him when we want him prosecuted.
Not saying we don’t also want him persecuted but maybe it’s not so wise to say so out loud ? 😁
the statement mentions that he is committing inhumane acts and persecution, not a victim of it
Dr. Harmony:
Thank you for composing this, and providing a form that we can make use of. I’ve emailed – and I tried to blind copy you as well.
I’ve also blind copied several news agencies, in the hopes of generating some attention for this. I’ve also posted on social media – in an effort to signal boost for this.
Thank you for resisting!
thank you <3
Drat – just got an auto reply. It may have to be snail mail after all. :'(
What struck me was how the piece doesn’t just make symbolic demands; it frames sending him to the International Criminal Court (or The Hague) as part of restoring moral and legal order. It argues that when a political leader commits policies harmful enough to affect fundamental rights, the usual checks and balances may not suffice. (Resistance Kitty)
At the same time, I couldn’t help but notice the rhetorical strategy. The article leans heavily into moral language — “crimes against humanity,” “betrayal,” “impunity,” calls for justice that transcend party lines. It’s intended to jolt, provoke, not soothe. That tone might alienate those unsure of how they feel, even as it motivates readers who already see Trump as beyond the pale.
I’m curious how feasible the proposal really is, legally speaking. The U.S. is not a party to the Rome Statute, which means the ICC’s jurisdiction over U.S. citizens is extremely limited. Any attempt to prosecute a U.S. president externally would face huge diplomatic, legal, and constitutional obstacles. But as a statement of principle, as a demand for accountability, it’s certainly powerful.
fair point!
