The lawsuit that Democracy for the Arab World Now filed this week in the Southern District of New York is a confession with a case number.

DAWN, joined by a ten-member outfit calling itself the Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide, asks a federal court to strike down Executive Order 14203. Signed by President Trump in February 2025, the order declared a national emergency to authorize sanctions targeting people and entities helping the International Criminal Court investigate U.S. citizens and allies supporting Israel.
