Zohran Mamdani and Donald Trump Meet to Discuss Housing and ICE Detention Case

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani met U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House for their second in-person meeting since Mamdani's election. The discussion focused on a major housing proposal aiming to build 12,000 affordable homes over Sunnyside Yard in Queens, supported by a $21 billion federal grant request. Mamdani also raised concerns about the ICE detention of Columbia University student Elmina Aghayeva, whom Trump assured would be released imminently. Despite political differences, both leaders expressed a willingness to collaborate on housing issues.
