In a court filing, a lawyer for Mamadou Taal says the Cornell University doctoral student has received an email from a Department of Justice lawyer saying Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “invites” him to surrender to ICE custody. Taal has filed a lawsuit against Trump’s executive orders that critics said are aimed at stifling free speech, particularly pro-Palestine advocacy on US campuses. “This lawsuit is aimed at reversing the chill on speech and making people feel confident to stand up,” said Taal, a dual Gambian-United Kingdom citizen who has taken part in Cornell University pro-Palestine protests.
