Shortly after, Mamdani posted on X that he spoke with Trump by phone about the Columbia student detained Thursday morning after federal immigration agents allegedly used deception to gain entry into a campus residential building, according to university officials.

“In our meeting earlier, I shared my concerns about Columbia student Elaina Aghayeva, who was detained by ICE this morning,” Mamdani wrote. “He has just informed me that she will be released imminently.”

On one hand: it’s good that Mamdani was able to influence a clearly bullshit situation, even if it’s a one-off

On the other hand: fuck me I so hate that we’re just fully leaning into cronyism now
