President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday imposed sanctions on two judges and two prosecutors at the International Criminal Court, as Washington ramped up its pressure on the war tribunal over its targeting of Israeli leaders and a past decision to investigate U.

The State Department called the court a “national security threat” over inquests targeting the United States and Israel.

ICC judges issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli defense chief Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leader Ibrahim al-Masri last November for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Gaza conflict.

A federal judge tossed out part of a lawsuit brought by detainees at the "Alligator Alcatraz" detention center in the Florida Everglades, handing a partial victory to the Trump administration.

A judge said claims that detainees were denied hearings became moot when the Krome North Processing Center near Miami was designated as a site for hearings.

Trump administration's Everglades migrant detention center 'Alligator Alcatraz' faces two lawsuits challenging detainee rights and environmental violations.
