              Article 15 Evidence Addendum: Escalation of Crimes Against Humanity in the United StatesTo: The Office of the Prosecutor,
              International Criminal Court (ICC)

              From: Nova Kain (formerly Cary G. Hopkins)

              Date: January 28, 2026

              Re: Addendum to Submission ID# c7984ed8-9271-46b3-b408-2f7a9ac30269 (Filed June 4, 2025)This document serves as an
              urgent addendum to the initial Article 15 submission, which warned of potential Crimes Against Humanity enabled by Project
              2025 and Complicity in Genocide through support of the State of Israel. The evidence presented below demonstrates that the
              potential threat has escalated into active, documented atrocities within the jurisdiction of the Court.The current situation in the
              United States, particularly concerning the treatment of immigrants and the targeted violence against political dissenters and the
              transgender community, meets the threshold for a systematic and widespread attack directed against a civilian population, as
              defined in Article 7 of the Rome Statute.1. Escalation of Crimes Against Humanity: The Camp SystemThe initial submission
              warned of mass detentions. Since then, the infrastructure for a permanent, abusive detention system has been rapidly expanded
              and documented by international human rights organizations.1.1 Documented Torture and Inhuman ConditionsReports from
              Amnesty International and the ACLU confirm the operational status and conditions at new and expanded detention facilities [1]
              [2].FacilityLocationDocumented ViolationArticle 7 Parallel"Alligator Alcatraz" (Everglades Detention Facility)FloridaUse of
              "The Box": a 2x2-foot outdoor cage where detainees are shackled and chained in the sun for hours without food or water. Also,
              sewage-filled sleeping areas and 24-hour lighting [1].Torture (Art. 7(1)(f)) and Other inhumane acts (Art. 7(1)(k)).Camp East
              MontanaFort Bliss, Texas9 deaths in the first 25 days of 2026 in ICE custody. Documented medical neglect, physical abuse, and
              unsanitary conditions [3].Extermination (Art. 7(1)(b)) and Other inhumane acts (Art. 7(1)(k)).1.2 Extrajudicial Killings in
              CustodyThe death of Geraldo Lunas Campos in ICE custody at Camp East Montana was ruled a homicide due to "asphyxia due to
              neck and torso compression" [4]. This is direct evidence of state agents committing murder under the guise of detention.2.
              Targeted Killings of American Citizens and Political DissentersThe state has moved from detention to the extrajudicial killing of
              its own citizens with perceived impunity, demonstrating a clear intent to suppress dissent.VictimDate (Jan
              2026)CircumstanceState ResponseRenee Nicole GoodEarly JanuaryFatally shot by a federal ICE agent in Minneapolis while
              attempting to block an enforcement action [5].Vice President J.D. Vance and DHS officials claimed the officer is entitled to
              "absolute immunity" [6].Alex PrettiMid-JanuaryICU nurse shot and killed by two federal officers in Minneapolis [7].Internal CBP
              review contradicted the public narrative, confirming Pretti did not attack officers, proving a deliberate cover-up of state violence
              [8].3. Escalation to Genocidal ProcessThe systematic targeting of the transgender community, as warned in the initial submission,
              has been formally recognized by human rights scholars as an active genocidal process [9].•Scholarly Consensus: International
              human rights scholars have drawn direct parallels between the current U.S. legislative and rhetorical attacks on trans people and
              the Nazi regime's imposition of a strict gender binary to justify persecution and eventual murder [9].•Persecution: This process
                                                                    Confirmation
Submission ID# 3936f958-5bd7-4379-9ecb-039a30783505                                                                                  Submission Date# 30-01-2026

              includes the institutionalization of trans people, forced conversion therapy, and legislative efforts to erase their legal existence,
              which directly corresponds to the Persecution stage of genocide (Art. 7(1)(h)).4. Complicity in Genocide: Global ContextThe U.S.
              government's continued support for the State of Israel, as warned in the initial submission, is now occurring while international
              bodies have escalated their findings.•UN Apartheid Finding: A January 2026 UN report concluded that Israel is violating
              international law prohibiting racial segregation and apartheid in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, describing a "systematic
              asphyxiation" of Palestinian rights [10].•ICJ Genocide Case: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is holding public hearings
              on the merits of the genocide case (South Africa v. Israel), having previously found the claim of genocide to be plausible
              [11].Conclusion and Request for Article 15 ActionThe evidence demonstrates a clear and rapid escalation of the situation in the
              United States from a potential threat to an active, systematic attack on a civilian population. The killings of U.S. citizens, the use
              of torture in remote camps, and the formal warning of a genocidal process against a minority group are all documented facts that
              demand immediate action.The Office of the Prosecutor is respectfully urged to exercise its authority under Article 15 of the Rome
              Statute to initiate a proprio motu investigation into the actions of Donald J. Trump and his administration as a matter of extreme
              urgency. The time for preparation is over; the time for intervention is now.Sincerely,Nova Kain (Cary G. Hopkins)

              Report: Global Fascism and the "4th Reich" Framework (January 2026)This report analyzes the actions of the Israeli government
              and the international critiques of Zionism through the lens of historical fascist parallels and modern human rights standards. The
              "Systematic Asphyxiation" of Rights (West Bank & Gaza)A January 2026 UN report has concluded that Israel's actions in the
              Occupied Palestinian Territory constitute a violation of international law prohibiting racial segregation and
              apartheid.FeatureDocumented Actions (2025-2026)Historical ParallelSegregationTwo distinct bodies of law for settlers vs.
              Palestinians; restricted access to water, land, and movement.Apartheid South Africa and the Nuremberg Laws (segregation of
              "national community").Extrajudicial KillingsDeliberate use of lethal force against unarmed civilians, including children (e.g.,
              Saddam Hussein Rajab, Jan 2025).Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing units) and state-sponsored terror.ImpunityOut of 1,500 recorded
              killings, only 112 investigations were opened, resulting in just one conviction.The erosion of the rule of law in Nazi Germany
              where state violence was legalized.2. The ICJ Genocide Case (South Africa v. Israel)As of January 2026, the International Court
              of Justice (ICJ) is holding public hearings on the merits of the genocide case.•Provisional Measures: The court had previously
              determined that it is "plausible" that Israel is committing acts of genocide in Gaza.•Targeting of Aid: UN experts have noted
              that the ban on 37 aid groups and the demolition of UNRWA headquarters are symbolic of an attack on the entire UN system and
              the "survivors of genocide."•Death Toll of Aid Workers: Over 380 UNRWA employees have been killed by Israeli forces during
              the conflict.3. Zionism and "Modern Nazism" Parallels:

              My personal assertion is that "Zionism is modern Nazism" is reflected in the following academic and human rights discourses:â€
              ¢Fundamentalist Nationalism: Critics argue that the current iteration of Zionism under the Netanyahu government has shifted
              toward a "fundamentalist nationalism" that prioritizes a racially/religiously pure state over human rights.•Dehumanization: The
              rhetoric used by state officials to describe Palestinians (e.g., "human animals") mirrors the dehumanizing language used by the
              Nazis to justify the Holocaust.•The "4th Reich" Concept: This term is increasingly used by global activists to describe a
              coordinated, international shift toward authoritarianism where states (like the U.S. and Israel) use similar tactics of camps,
              surveillance, and extrajudicial killings.4. The Global "Fascist Virus"The research indicates a "backend corruption" that is not
              limited to one nation:1.The U.S. Connection: The U.S. government's continued support and "absolute immunity" rhetoric for its
              own agents (Pretti, Good) mirrors the impunity seen in the Israeli military.2.The Camp System: From "Alligator Alcatraz" in the
              Everglades to the "staging grounds" in the Negev, the infrastructure of mass detention is becoming a global standard for
              "managing" unwanted populations.Conclusion: The evidence from international bodies (UN, ICJ) supports the framework of a
              "4th Reich" or a global fascist resurgence. The "systematic asphyxiation" of rights in Palestine and the "modern holocaust"
              markers in the U.S. are two sides of the same coin: a global abandonment of human rights in favor of state-sponsored violence and
              erasure.

              Please open a case against Trump, we are in grave danger. Trump and Netenyahu are in the wrong and are putting the world in
              danger.
