Legitimate students don’t illegally shut down an event that’s being held by the very same college that invited them into the country. That’s why Momodou Taal should be deported.

The people who are speaking out against deporting Cornell student Momodou Taal are falsely saying that this is about free speech.

In reality, when the Ithaca Voice wrote an article about Taal, it included the following:

Over 100 students and faculty were involved and unlawfully entered the Statler Hotel on campus to shut down a career fair where representatives from Boeing and L3Harris were recruiting.

Protestors pushed past a blockade of university police officers to enter the hotel.

First of all, please note the use of the phrase “unlawfully entered.” Trespassing is a crime.

Second, please note that his illegal activity caused the cancellation of an event that was being held by the very same college that invited him into the country. No legitimate student would do that.

Third, any U.S. citizen who did that exact same thing in a foreign country would likely get deported for it.

Fourth, breaking through a police blockade – that sounds like what Ashli Babbitt did right before she was shot and killed. Well guess what? It’s the job of the police to shoot and kill people who go through police blockades. I wish the police treated all rioters the same way they treated Ashli Babbitt.
