“We see a multilayered collaboration from the university, to students taking pictures and sending into places like Canary Mission or Betar”
British-Gambian student Momodou Taal is expected to be the next student deported by the Trump administration because of his Gaza advocacy.
On Thursday, a federal judge rejected the request submitted by the Cornell University student to suspend his deportation.
The 31-year-old citizen of the United Kingdom and Gambia had his student visa revoked this month and was asked to surrender to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities for removal proceedings.
Taal and two co-plaintiffs filed a lawsuit on March 15 seeking to block enforcement of executive orders he believed could lead to his deportation, arguing they violate free speech rights.
He was told a week later that his student visa had been revoked for his alleged involvement in “disruptive protests,” but that ICE agents had trouble locating him.
Taal, a doctoral student in Africana studies, was suspended last fall after a group of pro-Palestine activists disrupted a campus career fair.
