A Columbia University student was detained by Department of Homeland Security agents Thursday morning after they allegedly made "misrepresentations" to enter a dorm, the school said.

Claire Shipman, the school's acting president, sent a letter to the school community informing them that the DHS agents entered an unspecified dorm on the campus around 6:30 a.m. and detained the student.

Protests took place on the school's campus on Thursday following the news of the student's detention but there were no reported incidents or arrests.

"Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a 'missing person.' We are working to gather more details," she said.

2. That's some roommate...

I find it hard not to find it suspect that there isn’t potential motive behind a Columbia student not recognizing the potential consequences in allowing ICE to enter the building (or their room) at 6:30 a.m.

Mayor Mamdani has already looked into this issue on behalf of Columbia student Elaina Aghayeva.

Mamdani, who met with Trump at the White House Thursday, posted a statement on social media in the afternoon in which he said he spoke with the president about the incident.

"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," Mamdani said.

Aghayeva made a story on her Instagram page shortly after Mamdani's announcement, in which she expressed gratitude for the support. "I just got out a little while ago. I am safe and okay. In an uber (on the way) back home," she said. "I am so sorry, but I am in complete shock over what happened."

Aghayeva was seen by ABC News exiting a vehicle and entering building. She did not give a statement.
