That bit is not strictly True. Interpol pre-dates the ICC and both current war crimes tribunals (all of which are UN entities).

I'm all for sovereignty and such, but let's not play into the hands of our enemies by getting our facts wrong.

A foreign police organization, operating within the borders of the U.S., without any restraints, immune from the laws that our police forces are required to operate under. They will basically have diplomatic immunity. So they can do anything they want, and suffer no consequences of their actions.

I don't understand. I just don't understand.
Here's the thing, though. Technically, it's not so much "foreign" as "international". Read "international" as "global" and you'll start to get the picture...
