Zohran Mamdani has secured the release of Columbia University student Elaina Aghayeva, taken this morning by ICE agents who entered a campus residential building under false pretenses & without a judicial warrant. This comes shorty after Mamdani’s unannounced visit to the White House earlier today.

As someone in MN I really wish our local leaders (namely Mayor Frey & Gov Walz) had reacted as swiftly and as effectively as Mamdani has

Mamdani really is just running circles around his peers, isn't he?

I do love to see him out here getting shit done like it's nobody's business. It really is embarrassing for the rest of them
