Senator Ronald 'Bato' Dela Rosa is taking legal action against a reported arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) by seeking a temporary restraining order (TRO) from the Supreme Court of the Philippines. His legal team, Torreon & Partners, filed an urgent motion claiming that no arrest should occur without a valid judicial warrant from the Philippines. This move follows former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV presenting what he claimed was an ICC warrant against Dela Rosa in the Senate, dated November 5, 2025. Dela Rosa's camp criticized the use of a subpoena by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group as a means to detain him, labeling it as an illegitimate law enforcement tactic. Amidst these developments, the Senate is under lockdown, and Dela Rosa is currently under protective custody due to an encounter with National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) operatives. The situation highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding the ICC's involvement in the Philippines, particularly concerning the war on drugs initiated by former President Rodrigo Duterte, who is already facing charges in The Hague.
