Summary
ICE demanded that Momodou Taal, a Cornell PhD student and UK-Gambia dual citizen, surrender
after he sued the Trump administration over executive orders targeting foreign students in pro-Palestinian protests.
Taal, backed by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, seeks to block deportation.
The request came soon after his lawyers sought a restraining order. Critics call the move unprecedented and politically motivated.
Taal fears arrest and deportation, while two other plaintiffs, both US citizens, claim the crackdown violates free speech rights on campus.
Of fucking course it’s politically motivated. He’s seeking protection because he is being hunted by a corrupt traitor masking as a “politician”. The politics ARE the motivation. God damn almighty these people are fucking stupid.
Don’t worry, liberal media is going to save the day here by passive voicing genocide and offering comfort to fascists being “unfairly criticized” so they can remain fair and balanced. The revolution will be televised, as they always say.
Anything else would simply be improper!
You know, I was about to go on about how they aren’t stupid, they’re cowards, because they fully know what you say is true, but they are too scared to say things out loud because then they’d be a target, OR because they believe in “the moral high road” and “believe the best in people” to a fault and “it wouldn’t be proper!” to call a nazi… You know… a nazi.
But then I realized all of that, while possible, is still insanely fucking stupid
So I guess my point is “yeah, and giant fucking cowards to boot”
It’s amazing how sometimes, it’s the most simple, obvious explanation.
It’s exactly what the GOP wants, the only thing that’s off is that I don’t think even they thought they would be this successful
