A Cornell University student facing deportation after his visa was revoked because of his campus activism said he decided to leave the United States.

Momodou Taal, a citizen of the United Kingdom and Gambia, had asked a federal court to halt his detention. But he posted on X late Monday that he didn’t believe a legal ruling in his favor would guarantee his safety or ability to speak out.

“I have lost faith I could walk the streets without being abducted,” Momodou Taal wrote from an unknown location. “Weighing up these options, I took the decision to leave on my own terms.”

    i doubt they are going to touch yale/harvard/standford any time , because those are usually the pipeline for students to >politicians via prestigious MD and Law schools, or business programs. even the MDs from these colleges tend to be elistist asf with respect to employment.
