Immigration officers in New York City have been accused of impersonating officers with the NYPD in order to gain entry into a Columbia University-owned apartment building to detain a student, and the Trump administration is, as usual, sticking to its script, demonizing the detainee and absolving its agents of any wrongdoing.

According to the New York Times, on Thursday morning, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested 29-year-old Columbia University student Ellie Aghayeva.
