The Trump administration has intensified its efforts to suppress free speech on college campuses, notably affecting international students. Momodou Taal, a dual citizen and Ph.D. student at Cornell University involved in pro-Palestinian protests, faced deportation after being suspended twice for advocating divestment from Israel. Public outcry led to his re-enrollment, yet he still faces restrictions on campus access. Taal, alongside others, has filed a lawsuit against executive orders targeting foreign nationals, reflecting broader concerns about academic freedom and immigrant rights under current policies.
With, as you said, public pressure, support, Cornell University backed down, and I am allowed to finish my degree. However, I am still banned from campus. I'm allowed in one building on campus.
I believed I was going to be a target eventually.
