Aghayeva’s release from ICE custody came shortly after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani appealed directly to President Trump, as he made his second visit to the White House since his historic election victory in November. Mamdani also gave White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles a list of four current and former students targeted by federal immigration authorities and asked the administration for help in dismissing their cases. They are Mahmoud Khalil, Yunseo Chung, Mohsen Mahdawi, and Leqaa Kordia — all detained after they joined pro-Palestine protests. Leqaa Kordia is the only one who remains detained — nearly one year after her arrest — at an ICE jail in Texas. We’ll speak with Columbia University graduate student Mohsen Mahdawi later in the broadcast.
