Just days after suing the Trump administration, Cornell international student and pro-Palestine activist Momodou Taal was ordered to report to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to The Ithaca Voice.
Taal’s lawsuit, filed March 15, challenges two executive orders his legal team says unfairly target anti-war activists. By March 21, federal attorneys had emailed his lawyers, requesting he surrender to ICE custody and accept a Notice to Appear—typically the start of deportation proceedings.
Taal, a U.K. and Gambia citizen, is the only non-U.S. plaintiff in the case and the only one facing ICE action. A court rejected his team’s request for a restraining order.
