TRUMP DOJ’S Bold Move: Deportation of Anti-Israel Activist Ignites Debate

25 March 2025 — The Department of Justice under President TRUMP is seeking the deportation of Momodou TAAL, a Cornell University student and anti-Israel protester. Court documents show that TAAL, who holds dual citizenship in the UK and Gambia, has been asked to surrender to immigration authorities. This action follows his vocal support for resistance against Israel on social media.

Eric Lee, TAAL’s attorney, shared that he was informed via email about the government’s plan to start deportation proceedings. Lee criticized Trump’s actions as an “urgent threat of dictatorship.” He mentioned that ICE has invited TAAL to their Syracuse office for personal service of a Notice to Appear (NTA) and subsequent surrender.

TAAL’s activism grew after the October 7 Hamas attacks in 2023. Though he entered the U.S. on a student visa in 2022, he has openly expressed disdain for America and called for its downfall on platforms like X. His controversial statements have sparked both support and opposition within Cornell University’s community.

Hundreds rallied at Cornell University last week in solidarity with TAAL, though he did not attend himself. In a recent post on X, he assured followers of his safety and readiness to present his case in court soon. The situation highlights ongoing tensions surrounding immigration policies under TRUMP’s administration.

TRUMP Assassination Attempt SUSPECT Laughs in Court: Shocking Behavior Revealed

18 September 2024 — Ryan W. Routh, accused of trying to assassinate former President Trump, appeared in court Monday. He was seen smiling and laughing with his defense lawyers. Florida prosecutor Dave Aronberg stated that Routh’s behavior does not indicate criminal insanity. “He fled after all, tried to get away and escape,” Aronberg noted. Routh was arrested near Palm City, Florida on September 15, 2024. A U.S. Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel through a fence at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. Routh fled north on Interstate 95 toward his home in North Carolina. Aronberg highlighted the irony of Routh’s actions given his support for Ukraine against Russia. Despite understanding right from wrong in international conflicts, Routh allegedly attempted an evil act by targeting Trump. This undermines any potential insanity defense he might claim. Federal prosecutors have taken over the case as the investigation continues into the failed assassination plot against former President Trump.

Heightened security measures marked the event, reflecting increased threat levels. Trump focused on resilience and overcoming adversity in his speech, themes that resonated with supporters. This appearance is significant as Trump had been relatively quiet since the incident.

TRUMP FIGHTS Back: Lawyers Demand End to GAG Order in New York Case

05 June 2024 — Donald Trump’s legal team is requesting the removal of a gag order that prevents him from commenting on witnesses, jurors, and others involved in his criminal case. His lawyers argue that the restrictions on Trump’s First Amendment rights are no longer justified now that the trial has concluded.

Trump’s attorneys, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, emphasized the need for “unrestrained campaign advocacy,” especially after President Joe Biden’s public comments about the verdict. They also pointed out ongoing criticism from Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels as reasons to lift the gag order.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined to comment on this request. Judge Juan M. Merchan initially issued the gag order before the trial started due to concerns about Trump attacking those involved in his cases.

Merchan later expanded it to include comments about his own family after Trump targeted his daughter online. While remarks about Merchan and District Attorney Alvin Bragg are permitted, statements regarding court staff and Bragg’s prosecution team remain prohibited under the current gag order.

TRUMP BACKLASH: Former Arkansas Governor Booed at Florida Freedom Summit Over Anti-Trump Remarks

TRUMP’S FIGHT: The Fourteenth Amendment Takes Center Stage in Ballot Battle

03 November 2023 — A brewing legal battle is placing the spotlight on the Fourteenth Amendment’s “Insurrection Clause”. Plaintiffs argue that President Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, should bar him from appearing on future ballots.

This legal challenge is not unique to one state. Similar cases are popping up across the country, including Colorado. Here, Judge Sarah Wallace, an appointee of Democrat Governor Jared Polis, presides over the case. There is a possibility that this issue may escalate to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Trump’s defense team counters by asserting that this amendment doesn’t extend to presidents. They highlight that while it mentions Senators and Representatives among others, it does not explicitly include presidents. The presidential oath has its own separate provision in the Constitution.
