Cornell student activist denied bid to immediately stop the government from trying to deport him
Briefly

In a recent ruling, U.S. District Judge Elizabeth Coombe declined to block the deportation of Cornell University doctoral student Momodou Taal. His student visa was revoked due to alleged involvement in disruptive protests supporting Palestinian activism. The case raises concerns over free speech and governmental actions perceived as targeting international students advocating for Palestinian rights. Taal's legal efforts to halt enforcement of executive orders aimed at tighter scrutiny of such protests were also dismissed, with the judge stating he did not meet the necessary legal criteria for a temporary restraining order.
