ICE Abducts Then Releases Columbia Student After Mamdani Intervenes & Calls to Dismiss More Cases
Federal agents detained a Columbia University student early Thursday after Department of Homeland Security officers allegedly gained access to a university-owned residence by presenting a fake missing person poster of a 5-year-old. As news broke of the student, Ellie Aghayeva, and her detention, students and community members rallied en masse demanding her release and an end to immigration enforcement on campus. Due to restrictions implemented by the university in response to pro-Palestine protests, the students were unable to protest on campus proper, but instead took to nearby streets.

Aghayeva was released Thursday afternoon, shortly after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani brought up her case during a meeting with President Donald Trump to discuss housing. "For that decision to be quickly flipped is remarkable because it shows the power of opposition, but also how loose and flippant these arrests are, and how maybe unnecessary they are," says Zeteo's Prem Thakker, who has been reporting on the case.

Columbia's active response, including its legal support of Aghayeva, marked a departure from previous high-profile immigration arrests of its students. Mohsen Mahdawi, a former Columbia University student who last year was also detained by DHS, says Aghayeva's arrest in campus housing is a direct result of the university administration's abdication of its responsibility to protect its students. "Columbia University administration did not have the backbone, in fact, to file any lawsuits against the Trump administration for violating basic rights," says Mahdawi. "This is actually what the Trump administration intended to do, which is to fracture liberal institutions and turn the administrations against their students."

Missing DOJ Files: As Clintons Testify About Epstein, Where Are FBI Interviews with Trump Accuser?
As fallout from the Epstein files continues, we speak with investigative journalist Barry Levine, author of The Spider: Inside the Tangled Web of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Recordings of the House Oversight depositions of Bill and Hillary Clinton are set to be released today and tomorrow. The Clintons were called by House Republicans to testify on their relationships with Jeffrey Epstein, but Levine emphasizes that credible allegations tying either the Clintons or Donald Trump to Epstein's criminal activities are currently limited. Meanwhile, files known to contain allegations of sexual abuse of a minor by President Trump have been withheld or removed by the Department of Justice. Levine says that the focus on the Clintons is a political distraction targeted at Trump's "perceived enemies" while millions of documents on the Epstein case that could directly implicate his other associates have still not been released or unredacted for the public. "There are men who are out there who took part in the sex trafficking that have not been brought to justice," says Levine.

Rep. Summer Lee on Boycotting Trump Speech, Jesse Jackson, Voting Rights, "Endless Wars" & More
Many Democratic lawmakers boycotted Tuesday's State of the Union address to attend alternative events, including our guest Congressmember Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, who gave the Working Families Party response to President Trump. "The president is disgraceful, and I don't think it's worth our time to give him an audience," says Lee, who encourages opponents to keep challenging his falsehoods. "When you take away the lie, there is no foundation for President Trump."

Lee also challenges Trump's claims about non-citizen voting, which experts say is exceedingly rare, and the decision by Republican House leadership to deny honors to the late Reverend Jesse Jackson at the Capitol following the civil rights icon's death.

Jeremy Scahill: Despite Ongoing Talks, Trump Admin Is "Obsessed" with Destroying Iran
Despite chairing the first meeting of his newly formed Board of Peace on Thursday, President Donald Trump continues to threaten war against Iran as the Pentagon positions a massive fighting force in the Middle East. Trump said he would give Tehran about two weeks to reach a deal on its nuclear program, but media reports indicate that he could launch an attack within days. Iran maintains its nuclear enrichment program is for peaceful civilian purposes.

Journalist Jeremy Scahill says Trump already "used the veneer" of negotiations to attack Iran last year, and that despite ongoing talks between the two countries, he has essentially already decided to launch a new war that could quickly spiral out of control.

"I've been told by military experts who spent decades working in the Pentagon that there's a spirit of delusion that has just taken hold in the administration," says Scahill. "You have elements here who are absolutely obsessed with Iran and destroying the Islamic Revolution."
