Trump Agrees to Visa for Slain Teen's Mother, Mamdani Says

President Trump agreed to grant a visa to the Ghanaian mother of a slain Bronx teenager, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Saturday. The mayor said he spoke with Trump by phone.

• 15-year-old Javits Frimpong was shot in the stomach Thursday morning.
• 9:25 a.m. was roughly when he was shot, while heading to school.
• He had recently immigrated from Ghana and later died of his injuries.
• His father says the teen was bullied at DreamYard Preparatory School.

Why it matters: Visas are a federal decision, so the mother's trip depends on the Trump administration. Mamdani said Trump agreed to act immediately.

• Thomas Frimpong, 60, believes the bullying is tied to his son's killing.
• Police have not publicly linked the shooting to any motive.
