After authorities revoked Taal’s student visa, the British-Gambian student filed an emergency motion to prevent an attempt to detain or deport him. However, on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Elizabeth C. Coombe denied requests to temporarily halt his removal proceedings and the enforcement of the two executive orders.

Taal said he planned to submit a second briefing in court “with the hope that I could stay out of detention” but “lost faith” that he “could walk the streets without being abducted.”

“This is of course not the outcome I had wanted going into this, but we are facing a government that has no respect for the judiciary or for the rule of the law,” he added.

Taal, who has been an anti-Israel student activist since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, has praised the “resistance” against Israel several times on his X account. Despite being accepted on a student visa in 2022, Taal has also posted about his “hatred” for the U.S. and called for “the end of the US empire.”
