Washington: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani meets with President Donald Trump at the White House. This was an important meeting between these two opposite-minded leaders, after sharp ideological differences and political confrontation that have continued in recent months. The special thing was that this meeting of the two leaders was not a part of a pre-planned public program. Mamdani described this conversation as a meaningful meeting. He said he is ‘looking forward to building more housing in New York City.’

What statement of Mamdani did Trump accept?

City Hall spokeswoman Anna Bahr said the mayor has made some proposals that would allow more housing to be built in just a few projects than has been built in the last 50 years. No further information was immediately provided about the scope, location or financing of the proposed housing projects. This meeting also took an unexpected turn regarding immigration. After leaving the White House, Mamdani wrote in a post on the social media platform They have just informed me that he will be released soon. Aghayeva was later released.

Detained after entering Columbia University

He was taken into custody early Thursday after federal agents entered a residential building on the Manhattan campus of Columbia University. Columbia University said that immigration officials gave false information to gain entry into the building in order to arrest him. Acting President Claire Shipman said that our understanding at this time is that federal agents gave false information to gain entry into the building in search of a ‘missing person.’ We are trying to gather more information.

He further said that if law enforcement agents wish to enter non-public areas of the university, request them not to enter any non-public areas until contacting the Department of Public Safety. The Department of Public Safety will contact the Office of the Advocate General to coordinate the university’s response. Do not allow them to enter or accept a warrant or summons.

Why was Aghayeva’s visa canceled?

In a statement to the Columbia Daily Spectator, the Department of Homeland Security said Aghayeva’s visa was revoked in 2016 due to truancy. The building manager and his roommate allowed officers to enter the apartment, the statement said. He has no pending appeal or application with the Home Security Department.

Let us tell you that the White House did not give any immediate reaction on this meeting. This meeting shows the changing relations between Democratic Socialist Mamdani and Republican President Trump. Trump has often criticized cities where the Democratic Party is in power, especially regarding migration and central government policies. Despite harsh rhetoric during the election campaign, the two have now met more than once in the Oval Office. New York City relies heavily on federal grants and has been the center of national debates over immigration enforcement. Columbia University, one of the most prominent private institutions in the United States, has been the focus of controversies over campus admissions and federal rights in recent years.
