Momodou Taal is a graduate student at Cornell University who filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration last week .

He is accused of being targeted for his participation in pro-Palestinian protests amid the Israel -Hamas war.

He was told to surrender to Immigration and Customs Enforcement , according to a court filing made shortly after he asked a judge to preemptively order the government not to deport him.

Taal did not attend the hearing, but two other plaintiffs from the lawsuit were present.
