Summary
ICE demanded that Momodou Taal, a Cornell PhD student and UK-Gambia dual citizen, surrender
after he sued the Trump administration over executive orders targeting foreign students in pro-Palestinian protests.
Taal, backed by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, seeks to block deportation.
The request came soon after his lawyers sought a restraining order. Critics call the move unprecedented and politically motivated.
Taal fears arrest and deportation, while two other plaintiffs, both US citizens, claim the crackdown violates free speech rights on campus.
I’m pretty sure the first one in America was passed by Native Americans about the European immigrants. Tell me how that turned out.
That situation is completely irrelevant to matters of immigration today. It’s frankly highly insulting to even say such a thing. It is literally a white supremacist talking point.
