Steve McGuire (@sfmcguire79) ~ This guy is one of the lead protestors at Cornell. When the student government denied his group’s divestment resolution, he and others vowed to repeatedly disrupt the campus, which they did. He was suspended last year too. Looks like Cornell might be done messing around.
He's very upset he wasn't allowed to come to a country to study and then make other students miserable.
(((Z.E. Silver))) (@z_e_silver) ~ If this all applies to you:
1. Non-US Citizen
2. Attends 🇺🇸 University
3. Takes advantage our steadfast belief in free speech.
3. Uses that to call for the downfall of 🇺🇸
4. Threatens American citizens.
5. Threatens Jews
You should be deported.
Per The Cornell Daily Sun:
He was suspended in the spring for helping organize the pro-Palestine encampment on the Arts Quad. Now, Momodou Taal, an international graduate student from the United Kingdom, says he faces “effectively being deported by the weekend” after the University sent him an email on Monday informing him of a second suspension.
The suspension comes after Taal and other Cornell students shut down a career fair in Statler Hall last Wednesday attended by defense contractors L3Harris and Boeing. In the email to Taal, which The Sun obtained, Christina Liang, who directs the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards, said that Taal had been reported to the University by Cornell University Police Department Lieutenant Scott Grantz ’99 for not complying with orders from University officials at last week’s protest.
According to Grantz’s complaint, Taal entered the career fair alongside other protesters after being warned not to by University officials and participated in “unreasonably loud” chants.
In the email, Liang wrote that Taal’s behavior demonstrated “escalating, egregious behavior and a disregard for the University policies” and called Taal to a same-day noon meeting at Day Hall. At the meeting, Taal was handed a physical copy of a no-trespass order barring him from entering campus.
Liang told Taal that his F-1 visa would be terminated, and referred him to a senior immigration advisor.
Taal, a vocal campus activist, was suspended last semester over his involvement in the pro-Palestine encampment. International students on their second or third suspension are in violation of F-1 regulations and could have their student visas pulled, requiring them to leave the country.

It's pretty cut and dry, actually.
KeepCalmAndDrawl (@FormerlyFormer) ~ Your visa was for *study,* not for angrily protesting the country gracious enough to make you a guest. You were a bad guest, and are now no longer a student, so leave.
Sometimes, no matter how gracious a host, their guests do not return their kindness and generosity of spirit. When that happens, the host is right to ask the visitor to be on their way.
