In the United States, a Columbia University student, Elmina Aghayeva, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Thursday morning after these agents allegedly misrepresented themselves to gain entry into her dormitory. The incident occurred early in the day when five federal agents entered the off-campus residential building without a warrant and sought to approach Aghayeva's apartment while claiming to be searching for a missing person. These actions led to significant concerns regarding the protocol followed by law enforcement while entering non-public areas of educational institutions. Following her detention, Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City communicated with President Donald Trump and advocated for Aghayeva's release. He expressed that such ICE activities do not enhance public safety and provided a list of other students facing similar circumstances due to their activism on campus. Later that day, Aghayeva was released, prompting her to thank supporters on social media. Additionally, an attorney representing her filed a petition claiming that the detention was unlawful, suggesting that the agents' entry and actions were conducted without proper justification. The events surrounding her arrest raise broader implications about immigration enforcement tactics in educational environments and prompted discussions about public safety and the treatment of students, particularly those involved in political advocacy.
