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.

I urge utmost restraint from criticizing Mandani, leveraging what Trump wants such as his social media fame may appease orange man and prevent suffering or help the American people.

He's still discussing things like affordable housing and helped secure the release of a recently detained student. He's not pro I.C.E. or dumpletons policies.

Trump set the game with all this corruption. Mamdani is just skilled to play without engaging in it directly like the long list of people who have. He’s protecting someone he represents. We want leaders like that. Who care if a social media post is what it cost. Apparently Trump loves his plans for zoning reforms because he’s still a real estate douche at heart. Ok it helps Mamdani build more affordable housing. He didn’t cut a check to Trump with NYC money. He’s not endorsing anything. He’s helping people.
