Judge refuses Cornell student’s ask to block Trump orders targeting pro-Palestinian protests

- Taal's lawsuit, filed with two co-plaintiffs, argues that the enforcement of executive orders violates free speech rights related to pro-Palestinian activism.
- The Trump administration has targeted noncitizens involved in protests deemed antisemitic, as asserted by affected students advocating for Palestinian rights.
