62% of Americans would support joining the ICC according to a recent poll. More generally, I am dubious that Americans would turn on a Democratic administration for cooperating with a ICC investigation of someone that Trump pardoned for war crimes (although the Hague Invasion Act is a barrier).

The faculty vote against doing this, @heidikitrosser.bsky.social points out, was 595-4.
That's the kind of margin where going the other way reflects a major failure of university governance.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.
