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.


Trump crushin on Mamdani is so funny
Trump is a reflection of those that hold power in our society. It’s why he is such a massive piece of shit. The wealthy rulers of this country are exactly who formed him.
Mamdani is just one of the first people that actually wants to improve that society for everyone. He has enough power and charisma to play to Trump’s ego and does it well.
Exactly, Mamdani is goat for that reason
Also for the “ones in charge” its a 99% vs 1% situation (Realistically 97% vs 3%). The people working together and showing up to do wins every time from numbers alone mix in brainstorming and collaborating and it makes it way easier to win. Many people doing already but the more the better!!
