A Cornell University graduate student activist targeted by the Trump administration for deportation says he voluntarily left the country after losing a bid to block his removal.
Momodou Taal said in a post on X that he “lost faith that a favorable ruling from the courts would guarantee my personal safety and ability to express my beliefs.” Taal, who was prominent in the pro-Palestinian protest movement, was twice suspended by Cornell for disruptive protests.
