Bill Bone AI Content If you're making plans to kidnap someone you can be arrested for conspiracy to commit the crime. Zohran Mamdani is conspirering to break federal law. The FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation should immediately open a federal investigation in his open threats to arrest and and transfer custody of Benjamin Netanyahu to the ICC (International Criminal Courts) and here's why:If New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani—or any other state or local official—were to violate the American Service-Members' Protection Act (ASPA) by cooperating with the International Criminal Court (ICC), they wouldn't face direct criminal jail time written into that specific law.​ASPA is a statutory prohibition rather than a criminal statute with specific personal punishments (like explicit fines or prison sentences) for individual local officials. Instead, a violation by a local government or its mayor would trigger a rapid federal intervention and severe political and financial consequences:​1. Federal Court Injunctions​Because ASPA explicitly bars state and local agencies (including local police forces and courts) from assisting the ICC, the U.S. Department of Justice would immediately file for an emergency federal injunction to halt the mayor’s actions. If the mayor defied a direct federal court order to stop cooperating with the ICC, they could then be held in contempt of court, which does carry prison time and heavy daily fines.​2. Loss of Federal Funding​ASPA restricts the flow of federal support and funding related to anything involving the ICC. Devising a local policy to assist the court could cause the federal government to strip New York City of massive federal law enforcement grants, homeland security funding, and other intergovernmental aid.​3. Federal Supremacy Clause Defeat​Under the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause, federal law completely trumps city and state policies regarding foreign affairs and national security. Any local executive order or action by a mayor to extradite someone or share city police data with the ICC would be declared legally null and void almost immediately.​In short, while Mayor Mamdani wouldn't be automatically handcuffed under ASPA itself, the federal government would quickly use the courts and the power of the purse to shut the operation down and potentially charge anyone who actively resisted federal court orders.
