A pro-Palestinian activist and foreign graduate student at Cornell University who was facing deportation has said he is voluntarily leaving the United States.

“I have lost faith I could walk the streets without being abducted,” Momodou Taal said in a statement posted to social media platform X on March 31. “Weighing up these options, I took the decision to leave on my own terms.”
