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.
Question: IF he were to surrender, would he be deported to the UK or to a South American prison?
If it’s the latter, can he cross into Canada and just go home for his safety?
I’m not saying he should, I’m asking what his options are.
In general if entering by land a UK citizen should only need to present their passport at the border to be granted entry to Canada.
