Federal immigration authorities arrested a Columbia University student early Thursday, triggering protests on campus along with allegations that agents had entered the university-owned residence under false pretenses.
Just hours after detaining student Ellie Aghayeva, though, the federal government abruptly reversed course, permitting her to walk free after the apparent intervention by Donald Trump.
In a social media post Thursday afternoon, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he expressed concerns about the arrest during an unrelated meeting with Trump, who then agreed to release her immediately.
A beloved progressive reaching across the aisle, but not to slap his opponent? Sounds very neoliberal corporate stooge of him.
Weird way to spell “pragmatic and effective.”
I know libs like to do this, but have you really not considered the difference between pushing a demand and preemptively capitulating? Talking to a Republican does not a corporate stooge make.
I swear some leftist are in a cult of just always wanting to get dunked on.
