U.S. immigration officials have asked a pro-Palestinian Cornell University student to turn himself in as part of the deportation process. The student, Momodou Taal, has participated in pro-Palestinian protests and is a dual citizen of the UK and the Gambia. President Trump has pledged to deport foreign pro-Palestinian protesters, accusing them of supporting Hamas and being antisemitic. Taal's attorneys argue that this is a free speech assault. Other cases involving pro-Palestinian activists at Columbia University and Georgetown University have also faced deportation attempts.
