Basically, he created an account but when he presses log in he gets auto kicked from the server. The message reads: "Disconnected: You were kicked by Console (Use of "ICM" is restricted to ICM's.)

What is an "ICM"?
Why is he getting kicked automatically?
How do you fix this?

Your friend used a name that contain "ICM" text. As you know, it is forbidden to use ICM or Staff tag [CIT]. Tell your friend to change his name before joining the server.

ICM basically stands for In-game Chat Moderator.
He's getting automatically kicked because using the [ICM] tag is only restricted to those players who are holding that position.
To fix it, just tell him to change his name/remove the [ICM] tag using '/nick <new name>'. Or, he can head to MTA settings and change it from there.
