"Just got off the phone with President Trump. In our meeting earlier, I shared my concerns about Columbia student Elaina Aghayeva, who was detained by ICE this morning. He has just informed me that she will be released imminently."
"ICE arrested Elmina Aghayeva, an illegal alien from Azerbaijan, whose student visa was terminated in 2016 under the Obama administration for failing to attend classes, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement about the Monday morning incident."
"Columbia protested the arrest on its campaign as Columbia requires that law enforcement agents must have a judicial warrant to access private areas on its campus, including housing facilities and classrooms. It appeared that a judicial warrant was not used in this case, according to Columbia."
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that President Trump agreed to release Columbia University student Elaina Aghayeva from ICE custody after Mamdani raised concerns during an Oval Office meeting. Aghayeva, an illegal alien from Azerbaijan whose student visa was terminated in 2016 for failing to attend classes, was arrested by ICE agents who accessed her campus housing without a judicial warrant. Columbia University protested the arrest, citing its policy requiring judicial warrants for law enforcement access to private campus areas. Aghayeva married a U.S. citizen in 2020, though her immigration status reportedly remained unchanged. The circumstances surrounding potential deportation proceedings remained unclear at the time of reporting.
