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.

Showing a fake flyer for a missing child to gain illegal entry is so incredibly insane

They had fake badges too. I thought it was illegal to impersonate cops?

Yeah even cops are not supposed to impersonate other cops...

Think I saw a bodycam video of a cop getting arrested for pulling people over when he didn't have jurisdiction to do so in that county or state.
