Student Elmina Aghayeva, detained by immigration agents, was released after New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani spoke with US President Donald Trump.

It marked the second meeting between the two men since Mamdani's mayoral election win late last year.

The ICE agents reportedly wore fake NYPD badges and entered the Columbia University dorms where Elmina Aghayeva was staying.

US President Donald Trump agreed to release a Columbia University student detained by immigration agents after a direct appeal from New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani at the White House. Elmina Aghayeva was arrested earlier that day.
