Cornell student who praised Oct. 7 told to surrender to US immigration authorities

[IsraelTimes] Order from ICE indicates Trump administration intends to deport Gambian-British national Momodou Taal, who is among those a pro-Israel watchdog has been pushing to expel

A pro-Paleostinian activist at Cornell University has been ordered to report to immigration authorities, in a sign that the Trump administration is planning to deport him.

Momodou Taal, a Gambia
... The Gambia is actually surrounded by The Senegal on all sides but its west coast. It has a population of about 1.7 million. The difference between the two is that in colonial days Senegal was ruled by La Belle France and The Gambia (so-called because there's only one of it, unlike Guinea, of which there are the Republic of Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, New Guinea, the English coin in circulation between 1663 and 1813, and Guyana, which sounds like it should be another one) was ruled by Britain...
n-British national who was briefly suspended from Cornell over his anti-Israel activism, had preemptively sued to block any effort to deport him, saying that the administration was penalizing protected speech in its mass crackdown on pro-Paleostinian protesters.

He has come under particular fire a tweet posted the day of the October 7, 2023, Hamas
..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
-led terror attack that said "glory to the resistance!" In another X post two days later, Taal further expressed support for the atrocities, declaring himself to be "an anti-imperialist who believes that colonised peoples have the right to resist by any means necessary."

Now, his lawyers have filed for a restraining order against the government, saying he has been told to "surrender to ICE custody" at a Department of Homeland Security office in Syracuse, New York, about 50 miles north of Cornell. Taal’s supporters have demonstrated on campus this week after observing what they believed to be law enforcement outside his home.

Taal’s lawsuit cited advocacy against him by the krazed killer pro-Israel group Betar US, which says it has submitted names of protesters eligible for deportation to the government.

"Betar confirms that @MomodouTaal was among those on our list of jihadis which we submitted to various government offices for deportation," the group tweeted on Friday. "We are pleased he has been ordered to surrender to @ICEgov."



Using the formulation "Shalom Momodou," reflecting a recent Trump administration catchphrase intended to be threatening, the group said it urged more deportations, including of "jihadis who have [become] naturalized citizens."

The group also said it had "reason to believe" that two other pro-Paleostinian activists it has lobbied against — Mohsen Madawi, a Paleostinian graduate student at Columbia, and Mosab Abu Toha, a poet who is working at Syracuse University after fleeing Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

in late 2023 — are "on the short list of those who will shortly be deported."

It is unclear how much the group’s advocacy has set priorities for the Trump administration as it carries out its vow to deport "Hamas

sympathizers" on college campuses. But Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University anti-Israel protest leader who is facing deportation despite holding a green card, faced criticism from the group shortly before he was arrested earlier this month.

#3  I remember when Carter pulled the visas for all Iranian students. There were American hostages in this case as well.

#2  Such students should look to Europe, or the UK, or points north of the border where they will be welcomed by others of their kind.

Makes sense, to revoke a visa of any student here claiming to get an education. But is more focused on violent protests supporting a known murderous terrorist group.

No matter what the Liberals, Democrats and idiot college professors say. Supporting terrorists dedicated to the murder of anyone not of their religion views, has NO Place in America.

Such students should look to Europe, or the UK.
Where they would feel right at home instead.
