SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him. He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving. He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

The effects can be seen from space. The Gaza Strip has plunged into darkness since Israel announced a “complete siege” on Oct. 9. On Friday, the little connectivity Gaza had with the outside world appeared to be severed, amid reports of heavy bombardment. More updates: wapo.st/477tylj
