Not with any land-based systems. The best we can do is with the THAAD system, which is good against IRBMs, and is comparable to Standard 3 (which cannot intercept ICBMs). Fully-fledged ICBMs have terminal velocities closer to Mach 25. (The first half of my career was working strategic defense. The Standard 3 kinetic kill warhead is a derivative of a concept first developed at Boeing in the early 1980s. The last ground-based anti-ICBM system was Safeguard, which was canceled in 1969.)
