Here's hoping the ICC issues warrants for all involved ... and follows up.
Any warrants issued by the ICC would be invalid. If they were to follow up by arresting an American citizen, it would probably constitute kidnapping.

Senator Mark Kelly torches Donald Trump:
So, throughout his entire career in business, reality TV, and politics, Donald Trump has had one and only one play, bullying his opponents into silence. He did it as a failed casino owner who bankrupted his properties and screwed over his contractors. He did it as a reality TV host known for firing people. And he's done it as as president who tries every day to intimidate people with no regards for the rights or well-being of the American people.
I'll say this for the guy. While he's never seemed to do much else right for most of Donald Trump's career, bullying people has worked out for him.
But not now.
Because I won't let it happen.
The American people won't let it happen.
President Trump is trying to silence me, threatening to kill me for saying what is true.
[...]
When Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into bankruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Donald Trump said that the collapse of the Twin Towers now meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 9/11 victims into space on a rocket ship. In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster, Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who died when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry. In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show, and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a gunshot wound to the head.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Restricting their travel would likely be the upshot, sure. But kidnapping? I'm not so sure, so long as Hegseth et al leave America on their own volition.
The US claim is that the ICC has no jurisdiction over its citizens, even if they commit a crime on the soil of a signatory nation. I’m not a lawyer (I just play one on message boards), but I have the feeling that if the ICC ever did arrest a USian, the fallout would be unpleasant, give the current trigger-happy mindset of the regime.

When a reporter asked him what part of his body the MRI was for, Trump said he had no idea, but it definitely WASN'T his brain.
It seems to me that if you had an MRI and didn't know what part of you it was looking at, it was most likely your brain.
