Momodou Taal, a doctoral student at Cornell University, has filed a lawsuit against two executive orders from the Trump administration that he argues threaten his status as an international student due to his activism for Palestine. The suit follows President Trump's comments labeling pro-Palestinian activists as terrorist sympathizers. Taal's legal action seeks to block these orders, which have already resulted in the detentions of other activists. His case underscores fears about the implications for free speech surrounding the topic of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as both students and faculty express concerns over their ability to voice dissent.
