Caption: NYC Mayor Meets Trump, Secures Release of Detained Student. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he had a “productive” meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House, focusing on housing affordability and immigration enforcement. Mamdani revealed he raised concerns about the detention of Columbia University student Elmina Aghayeva by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He later said Trump informed him she would be released — and Homeland Security confirmed she was freed, though removal proceedings are ongoing. Despite sharp political differences, the two leaders found common ground on housing costs, a major issue ahead of the 2026 midterms. Still, high mortgage rates and limited housing supply continue to squeeze families nationwide, with economists warning that trade and immigration policies may be pushing construction costs even higher. The meeting highlights rare cooperation — but deep divisions remain. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
