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.
Heaven forbid someone try to fight to make things better in a country
Forgot we’re just supposed to all give up apparently
That will surely be the way things get better
