ICC (International Criminal Court) prosecutor Khan locked out of his Microsoft email account and UK based bank accounts based on US sanctions.
"Microsoft, for example, cancelled Khanâs email address, forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail, a Swiss email provider, ICC staffers said. His bank accounts in his home countryâŻof the U.K. have been blocked."

Trump's sanctions on ICC prosecutor have halted tribunal's work
Nearly three months ago, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped sanctions on the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. He has lost access to his email and his bank accounts have been frozen. American staffers at The Hague-based court also have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest. In addition, some nongovernmental organizations have stopped working with the ICC. Rights groups say these problems will prevent victims of war crimes from getting justice.

Mexican security chief confirms cartel family members entered US in a deal with Trump administration
Mexicoâs government has confirmed reports that 17 family members of the son of a former cartel leader crossed into the United States. Mexican Security Secretary Omar GarcĂa Harfuch said Tuesday that it appeared to be part of a deal between the Sinaloa Cartel's Ovidio GuzmĂĄn LĂłpez and the Trump administration. Independent journalist Luis Chaparro reported over the weekend about GuzmĂĄn's relatives. The family flew from Sinaloa to Tijuana and crossed on foot to San Diego, California. GuzmĂĄn LĂłpez is a son of former Sinaloa Cartel leader JoaquĂn âEl Chapoâ GuzmĂĄn.
