On December 16, 2009, President Obama signed in an Executive Order “Amending Executive order 12425.” This amendment grants INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) full diplomatic immunity.

By Amending President Reagan’s (Executive Order 12425), they (INTERPOL) will now have full jurisdiction on US soil. Another interesting side note, INTERPOL does not have to abide by any of the FOIA rules or requests. We knew this was coming, just didn’t realize it would be so soon. Below is the federal rigister for all amendment sorted newest to original.
