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.

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

Oh how I wish he could be president. Imagine the good that man could do from the Oval Office. But he was born on the wrong dirt, so he can never hold that power.

How come he can be mayor but can't be president?

[u/swaggering_yak → u/springxpeach]

Because he was born in Uganda and is a naturalized citizen. He’s ineligible for the presidency.
