He says future threats do not violate constitutional rights.
District Judge Elizabeth Coombe ruled against a college student who sued President Trump’s administration for revoking his student visa.
Momodou Taal, a Cornell University student, had his student visa revoked through the directives of two executive orders issued by President Donald Trump, one titled “Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism” and the other “Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists.” Taal filed a motion to suspend the orders and attempted to argue that the orders violated his constitutional rights, but Judge Coombe disagreed.
“Jurisdictional issues aside, Plaintiffs Ngũgĩ and Parasurama have not established that there is an imminent or ongoing threat to their constitutional rights that could be appropriately remedied by the requested restraints,” Judge Coombe wrote.
“Any future harm alleged in their affidavits appears to be speculative and even moot because of the revocation of Taal’s visa,” she added.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For district judges as they hear challenges to actions by the president’s administration of immigration and visa laws and procedures.
- For President Trump and administration officials as they review and revoke visas for students engaged in supporting terrorists.
