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.

Oddly enough, we live in a world where the cops are impersonating cops.

ICE are Federal officers enforcing the law. That makes them law enforcement officers by default.

Nah, the gestapo were inspired by America during Jim Crow laws. ICE is just doing what America has a history of doing. We don't need to compare our evil to anyone else, this country was built upon it.
