Ordinary American taxpayers walk into the International Criminal Court and hand over the evidence their own government tried to bury.

A delegation of American taxpayers and human rights attorneys walks toward the International Criminal Court in The Hague. A woman in a keffiyeh carries a binder labeled “Evidence: Gaza.” A man carries a box marked “Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide,” and a banner overhead reads “TAAG: Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide.” Beside them, an attorney in court robes and another in a suit carry files.

On November 11, 2026, ordinary American taxpayers walk into the International Criminal Court and hand over the evidence their own government tried to bury.

They are the Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide. They travel with international human rights attorneys. They carry sworn affidavits from doctors who worked in Gaza, eyewitness accounts, whistleblower testimony, video, and the paper trail of U.S. weapons, money, and diplomatic cover.

Delivered to the Office of the Prosecutor

They are asking the Prosecutor to seek arrest warrants for President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other senior U.S. officials. The allegation is aiding and abetting genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

This campaign stands with them. No hedging. They did the work a government is supposed to do, and they did it with their own time and their own names.

Exhibit A

They had to beat their own government first

Before they could reach The Hague, they had to win in Manhattan.

On February 6, 2025, the President signed Executive Order 14203. It threatens sanctions against people who help the ICC investigate American or Israeli officials. On October 9, 2026, the Secretary of State went further and sanctioned the Court itself.

TAAG and DAWN sued on July 15, 2026. On October 13, a federal judge in the Southern District of New York granted a preliminary injunction. The court found the two groups likely to succeed on their claim that the order violates their First Amendment right to speak.

The docket

From the order to The Hague

  1. Nov 21, 2024

    ICC issues warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant.

  2. Feb 6, 2025

    Executive Order 14203 threatens sanctions on anyone who helps the ICC investigate American or Israeli officials.

  3. Jul 15, 2026

    TAAG and DAWN sue in the Southern District of New York.

  4. Oct 9, 2026

    The Secretary of State sanctions the Court itself.

  5. Oct 13, 2026

    A federal judge grants a preliminary injunction.

  6. Nov 11, 2026

    The delegation hands the evidence to the Office of the Prosecutor.

Read that again. Americans needed a court order to hand evidence of alleged atrocities to a court.

The injunction is preliminary and the case is not over. But the door is open, and they walked through it.

Procedure

What happens now

A submission is a request. It is not a warrant, and a warrant is not a conviction.

  1. 1

    The Office of the Prosecutor reviews the evidence and decides whether to act on it.

  2. 2

    If the Prosecutor applies for warrants, ICC judges must approve them.

  3. 3

    Anyone charged gets a trial, counsel, and the presumption of innocence.

The United States never joined the Rome Statute. Palestine did, and the Court has ruled its jurisdiction covers Gaza. On November 21, 2024, it issued warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. The question on the table is whether those who armed and shielded the conduct answer to the same law.

The administration rejects the Court’s authority over Americans and calls the case lawfare. We say let the judges read the evidence.

Our commitment

When the warrants come

If the ICC issues these warrants, a Cordova administration will honor them. Any person named, of any party, from any administration, will be surrendered to The Hague to stand trial.

That is already the spine of Executive Order 2029-01, drafted to take effect at noon on January 20, 2029:

72 hours.

The Attorney General opens arrest proceedings within 72 hours of a qualifying request.

14 days.

The Secretary of State orders surrender within 14 days of final judicial authorization.

No pardon shield.

A pardon covers domestic offenses. It does not block surrender for genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity.

No office shield.

No current or former official of any administration is exempt.

Enablers included.

The order reaches those who knowingly supply the weapons, funding, logistics, or intelligence.

This is not new ground for America. In 2000, the United States surrendered Elizaphan Ntakirutimana from Texas to the Rwanda tribunal. We have handed suspects to an international court before. We only stopped when the suspects might be ours.

Closing the gaps

The loopholes we will close

A promise with a hole in it is a press release. Here are the holes, and how we close them.

  1. 1

    Name the ICC in the order.

    EO 2029-01 will be amended so an ICC arrest warrant and surrender request qualifies on its own. No separate UN determination required.

  2. 2

    Repeal the statutory bar.

    The American Servicemembers’ Protection Act of 2002 forbids federal agencies from extraditing anyone from the United States to the ICC. No executive order overrides a statute. We will send Congress a repeal and a surrender statute on Day One.

  3. 3

    Revoke the sanctions.

    Executive Order 14203 and the sanctions on the Court, its judges, and its witnesses end on Day One. That takes one signature.

Until Congress acts, the President can still end the obstruction, open the files, and stop punishing Americans who cooperate with the Court. We will do all three.

One species

Strip away the statutes and this is what is left: a human life is a human life, everywhere.

There is no superior race, no superior color, no superior people. Whether you believe we were made by a creator or shaped by evolution, we are made of the same matter and carry the same value.

A child in Gaza

A child in Tel Aviv

A child in Manteca

are owed the same protection.

Every species before us survived by working together. We are the one that learned to kill its own at scale and then call it policy. A species that normalizes that pays for it, sooner or later, everywhere.

That is why this law cannot have a favorite. It reaches whoever targets civilians, under any flag, for any cause. The same Court issued a warrant for a Hamas commander alongside the Israeli ones.

Equal value means equal accountability.

People around the world are waking up to the reality before them in color. The taxpayers in The Hague are part of that waking.

To the delegation

You paid for this with your taxes, then paid again with your time. You were told that speaking to a court was a sanctionable act, and you went anyway.

The law that convicted men at Nuremberg was written with American hands. It was never meant to stop at our own border. You are holding this country to its own word.

When the warrants come, there will be an administration ready to honor them.

I am a piece of the collective essence of this world that never gives up and needs every other piece to be whole.
