The Trump administration has initiated efforts to detain Momodou Taal, a Cornell University doctoral student known for his pro-Palestinian activism. His involvement in protests, including the shutdown of a career fair with weapons manufacturers, has led to his remote study order and fears of deportation. Alongside similar actions against other pro-Palestinian figures, Taal's case highlights a pattern of targeting activists in the U.S. His lawyers argue that his detention violates his rights to free speech and that there are no legitimate grounds for his deportation. A pre-emptive lawsuit is underway.
The Trump administration's action against international student Momodou Taal exemplifies a broader movement to target pro-Palestinian activists in the U.S.
Mr. Taal's legal representative argues that his client is a victim of a crackdown on free speech related to pro-Palestinian protests at Cornell.
