As the Trump administration carries out its campaign against the International Criminal Court, imposing wide-reaching sanctions on judges, prosecutors and groups who have accused Israel of war crimes in front of the international tribunal, we're joined by veteran war crimes prosecutor Reed Brody. Brody says that the U.S. government's rejection of the ICC's jurisdiction is not about "American sovereignty," as the Trump administration claims, but about "impunity," for both U.S. allies, like Israel, and the U.S. itself. "Marco Rubio knows that bombing Iran without Security Council authorization constitutes aggression under the U.N. Charter," says Brody. "This is an insurance policy against accountability for crimes that the Trump administration is committing in plain sight."
Brody also responds to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's statements that his office may attempt to carry out the ICC arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu when the Israeli prime minister attends the United Nations General Assembly later this year, and to the recent announcement by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega that his country will no longer hold elections, further entrenching the onetime revolutionary's authoritarian rule.

The 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup has concluded, with Spain defeating Argentina to claim the coveted title. Spain's national team players accepted the championship trophy at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino and his close ally, United States President Donald Trump. Former professional soccer player Jules Boykoff, now a scholar who studies the political dimensions of the sport, joins us to discuss the various controversies that swirled around this year's tournament, held in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. this past month.
"While many of us were engrossed in this World Cup, Immigration and Customs Enforcement ramped up its violent deportation machine," says Boykoff. "And so, the World Cup helped Trump advance his agenda. It deflected attention from a lot of people away from his brutal immigration program, and it sets him up well to do the same in Los Angeles in 2028 when the United States hosts the Summer Olympics."
