The family of UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese has sued US President Donald Trump and senior administration officials over sanctions imposed on her for criticising Israel's conduct in Gaza, claiming the penalties violate her constitutional rights.
Albanese's husband Massimiliano Calì, a senior World Bank economist, and their minor daughter filed the lawsuit on Wednesday in US District Court in Washington, naming Trump, US Attorney General Pam Bondi, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as defendants.
