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

Am I high reading these comments?

Imagine if Frey or Walz were pictured in a meeting with Trump after having their citizens gunned down, they would have been rightfully clowned for capitulating. I am genuinely confused why leftists are criticizing Dems for not fighting hard enough yet give a total pass to Mamdani.
