A Cornell University student facing deportation after his visa was revoked because of his campus activism said he decided to leave the United States.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

    New college was basically a proving ground. They parachuted in Chris Rufo, and I’m sure they’ll set up a commission or something that he can head to do the same things to other colleges that get Federal funding.

      Thanks adding to the list and I just found the article on Yale. Will add that to my list to my… unsafe/unprincipled schools for future students.
