Make it illegal for war criminals or people with ICC warrant to enter NYC

I don't think he can do that, as the UN has a deal with the US saying "you won't interfere with anyone coming to our meetings at UNHQ NY".

That being said, the ICC is a UN-level body and the UN may be obliged to follow their warrants, but AFAIK they didn't take steps to arrest or disown the genocidal maniac.

Also, the NYPD is a hive mind of conservatism, meaning they'd rather spill their own blood fighting for Trump and Bibi. Listening to socialists isn't something they're likely to do soon.
