Cornell Protest Leader Who Lauded 'Armed
Resistance in Palestine' Self-Deports,
Drops Lawsuit Against Trump
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 4/1/2025 4:50:55 PM
A Cornell University graduate student who had his visa revoked after pledging his allegiance to the "armed resistance in Palestine" has self-deported after a federal court twice rejected his request for a protection order. Momodou Taal, a Gambian and British dual national, announced Tuesday night that he "took the decision to leave the United States, free and with my head held high." His statement came hours after he dropped his lawsuit against the Trump administration, in which he claimed that the president’s executive order calling for the deportation of foreign Hamasniks had a "chilling" effect on his freedom of speech and had "deprived" other students

The Secret Service is facing serious accusations of negligence and security failures after a whistleblower came forward alleging that the agency ignored critical "insider-threat" complaints. The whistleblower is accusing the agency of hiring an applicant who failed the terrorism section of a polygraph test. Even more alarming, this individual is reportedly responsible for evaluating others’ security clearances. These revelations raise serious concerns about national security and the agency’s commitment to adequately vetting those entrusted with safeguarding the country— especially since the Secret Service is tasked with literally protecting the country’s highest officials.
President Donald Trump and his administration have thrown out the playbook on immigration.
Between resurrecting an 18th-century law to deport violent criminals and running nationwide television commercials encouraging illegal immigrants to leave the country, the White House is employing anything and everything they can to remove illegals from the country, and strengthen the southern border. But experts say the Trump administration has another arrow in their quiver — one that’s not new, but still incredibly effective.
E-Verify is a free service from the Department of Homeland Security that allows employers to check applicants’ employment authorization status. Until now, proponents of E-Verify have encouraged employers to use the service to ensure they don’t

‘out of it’ prez ahead of disaster
debate, book says 13 replies
Ron Klain, a longtime aide to former President Joe Biden known for his intense loyalty, is insisting he “never doubted” Biden’s mental fitness — as a new book describes Klain’s distress ahead of Biden’s dismal June 2024 debate against Donald Trump.
In “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History,” author Chris Whipple writes that Klain viewed Biden, then 81, as “out of it” and even “half-seriously” worried that Biden thought he was “president of NATO.”
“I never doubted the president’s mental acuity,” Klain told The Post Wednesday after a report on Whipple’s book was published by The Guardian.

A teenage Bloods gang member was nabbed Wednesday in a multi-agency raid in Newark that’s targeting three other alleged shooters — with newly minted Interim New Jersey US Attorney Alina Habba in tow.
The Post witnessed the arrest of Zakiyy Houser, 18, a gangbanger with a history of weapons charges wanted for aggravated assault after an incident in which he allegedly shot two people.
Twenty-two agents from the US Marshals, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local law enforcement were joined by Habba — President Trump’s attorney who got a front-row seat to the action.
“I can’t believe how many cases you guys are juggling … Unbelievable, unbelievable. God bless you guys, thank you
The Senate confirmed former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker as the U.S. ambassador to NATO.
Whitaker’s approval ensures that a loyalist to President Donald Trump will serve as his de facto surrogate to the U.S.-led alliance while relations with its members are at a historic low. Whitaker will likely use his position to increase pressure on NATO allies to increase defense spending, something Trump has demanded since his first administration.
His first major action as ambassador will be to attend a Brussels summit with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
A third Democratic-aligned law firm has reached an agreement with the Trump administration to escape sanctions that would have crushed its government business.
The law firm of Willkie Farr & Gallagher agreed to eliminate “illegal DEI discrimination and preferences” and to spend “at least $100 Million” in pro bono legal work for causes that the law firm and White House agree on, according to a statement posted to President Donald Trump’s Truth Social account on Tuesday.
Doug Emhoff, the husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, is a partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher.
MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill claimed Wednesday on “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump was deporting people because he didn’t “like their opinion.”
McCaskill said, “The underpinning for this whole thing is this idea that we’re at war with Venezuela, and therefore, these people need to be deported without due process, without the court’s involvement. Clearly, everybody in America wants violent criminals who are here illegally out of the country, end of discussion, full stop. So let’s do it according to our laws. It’s not that hard. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time.”
She continued, “We have been a beacon to the world for the brightest minds to come to
Former Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra on Wednesday launched a bid for California governor, joining a growing field of candidates looking to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).
“As AG I took on Trump – and won. As HHS Secretary, I took on Big Pharma — and won. It’s time to do it again for California,” Becerra said in a post on social platform X announcing his campaign. “Let’s rebuild the California Dream for everyone.”
Becerra previously spent twelve terms representing the Golden State in the House and served as California’s state attorney general before former President Biden tapped him to lead HHS,
Senate Democrats are opening an investigation into reports that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is attempting to replace some contract workers at the Education Department with artificial intelligence (AI).
Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), along with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), sent a letter to Education Secretary Linda McMahon after a report from The New York Times that call centers that take questions from students and families about student aid could be replaced with an AI bot.
A Boston judge has held a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in contempt for executing his duty to detain an illegal immigrant during an ongoing trial.
On Thursday, March 27, 2025, ICE agents, ICE agent Brian Sullivan apprehended Wilson Martell-Lebron, a Dominican national illegally residing in the United States, as he exited the Boston Municipal Court.
Martell-Lebron, a Dominican national residing illegally in the country using fake identity, was on his second trial for charges related to falsifying information on a driver’s license application.
Despite the gravity of his alleged offenses, Boston’s lenient policies had allowed him to remain free until ICE agents,
According to federal data, taxpayers may now be helping cover California rents of up to $7,030 near the Mexican border.
Under the federal Section 8 housing voucher program, families are expected to dedicate 30% of their incomes to housing costs, while a federal voucher covers the rest. Vouchers are portable, with the Department of Housing and Urban Development aiming to provide tenants with “greater ability to move into ‘Opportunity Neighborhoods’ with jobs, public transportation, and good schools.”
In San Diego County, there are three ZIP Codes where fair market rents covered by Section 8 exceed $7,000 per month for a four-bedroom home:
Democrats have remained relatively quiet while President Donald Trump and Republicans hammer federal district judges for churning out nationwide orders halting his administration's actions.
But during President Joe Biden's tenure, they decried similar wide-ranging injunctions and even sought to remedy the issue with legislation.
In 2023, Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, debuted a measure to give the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia sole jurisdiction over any cases with national implications.
"When parties are able to choose their judges, it creates the perception that they are able to predetermine their case’s outcome, compromising the integrity of our federal justice system," she said in a statement at the time.

He May Ban or Jail Me 39 replies
Canadian-born Neil Young is worried he may be barred from returning to the U.S. by President Donald Trump’s administration after his upcoming European tour, lamenting Tuesday his outspokenness against Trump may make him a target for summary retribution.
The musician made his fears public on his Neil Young Archives website, saying:
When I go to play music in Europe, if I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminum blanket.
That is happening all the time now. Countries have new advice for those returning to America.
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 13 hours, and has stated he will speak for as long as he is “physically able” to do so to protest what President Donald Trump was doing.
In a pre-recorded video on X, Booker explained he would be speaking on the Senate floor and talking about what Trump was doing to the United States.Booker also referenced how on April 2, reciprocal tariffs will be imposed on all countries that have tariffs on U.S. exports and noted that the tariff would lead to “more reckless steps taken” that would increase prices for Americans.
WAUKESHA, Wis. - The liberal-leaning candidate is projected to win a high-profile and historically expensive election in Wisconsin on Tuesday, protecting progressive majority control of the battleground state's Supreme Court, which is likely to rule on crucial issues like congressional redistricting, voting and labor rights, and abortion. The Associated Press projects that Dane County Circuit Court Judge Susan Crawford will defeat Brad Schimel, a former state attorney general who currently serves as a state circuit court judge in Waukesha County. Schimel, the conservative-aligned candidate in the race, was endorsed by President Donald Trump.

The daughter of failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is opting out of graduate school to stand against a lack of support for student protests.
In a video she posted on TikTok, Hope Walz on Sunday laid out her reasons for the decision, Fox News reported.
The young woman stated:
I applied for one school. I kind of had my heart set on it. That’s what I wanted to do. I am not going to name the institution. But given recent events, I am not going to give my money, go into debt for, or support institutions that don’t support their students and the right
Val Kilmer, the Juilliard graduate with leading man looks known for taking on roles that went far beyond his appearance, has died. His his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed to the New York Times that the actor had passed away after battling pneumonia. He was 65.
Kilmer’s early films included comedies like Top Secret! (1984) and Real Genius (1985), as well as breakout role as LT Tom “Iceman” Kazansky opposite Tom Cruise in Top Gun (1986). That was followed by the fantasy film Willow (1988). His breakout as a leading man came with his mesmerizing, leather-clad portrayal of Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s The Doors.
Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey claimed Tuesday President Donald Trump channeled “McCarthyism” by threatening to pull over $200 million in federal funds for Harvard University.
The Trump administration is investigating the Ivy League school over its failure to address antisemitism on campus, particularly since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack by the radical Islamic terrorist group Hamas that killed over 1,200 people in Israel. Markey claimed the crackdown on antisemitism would “turn out very poorly” for the United States. [Video]
“Look, anti-Semitism is wrong, anti-Semitism must be fought, anti-Semitism is something that we cannot tolerate in our nation,” Markey claimed. “But authoritarianism is not the answer to anti-Semitism.
A group of Republican senators voted along with Democrats on Wednesday for a resolution to undo President Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports, dealing an embarrassing blow to Trump.
The resolution expresses the sense of the Senate and doesn’t have the force of law, but its 51-48 passage is unwelcome news for the president on the very day he announced a host of new tariffs.
Four Republicans — Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.) — voted for the measure.
They voted to express their disapproval of Trump’s tariffs on Canada
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, is demanding that President Donald Trump fly hundreds of suspected gang members, deported to El Salvador last month, back to the United States.
“I call on my colleagues … to demand that the Trump Administration comply with all judicial orders while appealing whichever ones they want to appeal, and to demand the return of people unlawfully taken to El Salvador on that so-called plane full of ‘gang bangers,'” Raskin said at a hearing on Tuesday.
Raskin was referring to two planeloads of
As the Gateway Pundit recently reported, the Trump administration is planning to take over the seating chart in the briefing room, a power once held by the far-left White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA).
Members of the WHCA, who are apparently a bunch of toddlers throwing a tantrum over the change, considered doing a 1960s style ‘sit-in’ protest in order to object to the changes.
The left views the entire world as a liberal college campus. This is just more proof of that.

Brown University has opened an investigation into a student for sending emails to administrators asking them what they do in a day.
The 20-year-old sophomore at the university, Alex Shieh, sent emails to all 3,805 administrators at Brown asking them to “Describe what tasks you performed in the past week.” Now the school is investigating him for inflicting “Emotional/Psychological Harm” on the staff, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
School officials accuse Shieh of obtaining confidential information and are requiring him to send proof he has deleted the content, essentially requiring the student to incriminate himself, something that Brown’s policies are supposed to protect him from.
If it weren’t for the fact that it is Democrats doing it, it would almost be shocking that there is so much opposition to the efforts of Mr. Trump, through DOGE, to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. What person, in their right mind, could possibly be against having THEIR tax dollars used wisely, not wasted on frivolous, unnecessary projects, or just flat being abused by unscrupulous politicians and bureaucrats? Even Bernie Sanders, back in 2008, is on tape saying that government waste should be excised. Why such hostility now?
President Donald Trump’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is nearing a historic deal with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency that will allow agents to more efficiently locate and arrest illegal aliens already ordered deported from the United States.
The IRS-ICE agreement, which anonymous sources told Politico is close to being finalized, will see the tax revenue agency open its databases to ICE agents when they need to confirm the names and addresses of illegal aliens who have been ordered deported by a federal immigration judge.
Politico, which interviewed opponents of the plan, admits that it is likely the partnership between the IRS and ICE
