A Cornell University student facing deportation after his visa was revoked because of his campus activism said he decided to leave the United States.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

    funny its surprisingly hard to become a CO over a COP which you can become one in as little as a few weeks. i knew someone who became one but the process took months and months with lots of training, interviews,etc, this is for cali though.

    also cops primarly draw in mostly right wingers anyways.
