Trump scaled up his efforts to stoke immigration fears

At a campaign rally this afternoon in Aurora, Colo., Donald Trump depicted America as a country "occupied" by immigrants. He promised the large crowd in attendance that he would save their communities by ridding them of illegal migrants. And he unveiled a new plan to deport migrants suspected of being in a gang under a 1798 law that allows for removal of people from countries that have invaded the U.S.

Trump's appearance in Aurora was symbolic: He has repeatedly and falsely claimed that the Denver suburb was overtaken by violent immigrants, despite attempts to fact-check him by city leaders of both parties. Trump blamed Kamala Harris for allowing the migrants in.

The former president's comments today were his latest attempt to demonize immigrants in the weeks before the election. Trump has argued many times that a surge in migrants was leading to a wave of crime, despite evidence to the contrary. And he has blamed immigration for increased housing costs, though economists disagree.

In Springfield, Ohio, Haitian immigrants are shaken after Trump shared false rumors about them. Some are reordering their daily routines and reconsidering whether to stay where they feel unwanted and unsafe.

On the campaign trail

The presidential election is 25 days away.

Kamala Harris's interview blitz revealed the persona she wants to present as she seeks to become the election's main character.
In the years since Trump left the White House, he has acted as something of a shadow president, conducting diplomacy out of his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Elon Musk, the world's richest man, is going all in to elect Trump.

At least 14 people died because of Hurricane Milton

Many weary Floridians returned to their homes today to assess the damage from Hurricane Milton. The powerful storm spared communities that had braced for the worst, but left others — some on the opposite coast from landfall — scarred by deadly tornadoes and flooding.

Officials have so far attributed at least 14 deaths to the storm and its aftermath. The state's preparations, including strong building codes and dire warnings to evacuate, probably limited the impact.

Milton walloped Florida with at least 20 percent more rain and 10 percent stronger winds than a similar storm would have done in a world without global warming, scientists found. As a result, Milton may have caused roughly twice as much property damage.

Can a failed U.N. plan can end the war in Lebanon?

Top American officials have spent recent days scrambling to stop the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah from continuing to widen into a devastating regional war. They agree with officials from Israel and Lebanon that the best way out may be by reviving a U.N. plan outlined in Security Council Resolution 1701.

That measure ended Israel's last invasion of Lebanon in 2006. But it has been largely ineffective because Hezbollah defied the terms of the agreement and built up a large presence on Lebanon's southern border — allowing it to attack Israel. How it could be enforced now is just one of several daunting challenges that the plan faces.

In related news, rescuers searched through rubble after strikes in central Beirut killed at least 22 people.

The Nobel Peace Prize went to Japanese atomic bomb survivors

This year's Nobel Peace Prize was awarded today to the Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo, a grass-roots movement of atomic bomb survivors, "for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons."

Nihon Hidankyo has for decades represented hundreds of thousands of survivors of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. These survivors, known as the hibakusha, now mostly in their 80s, have struggled with survivors' guilt and illnesses caused by the radiation. They were also shunned for years as living reminders of the human capacity to engineer horror.

Lego leaps into docs

Documentaries about musicians are incredibly common. They help artists build their brand and fans connect with their idols. And this weekend's new Pharrell Williams documentary, "Piece by Piece," follows the standard formula — except for the fact that it was created from Legos.

The movie, which took five years to make, is the toymaker's first foray into documentaries. Lego's other films, like "The Lego Movie," have won both commercial and critical acclaim.

Also on the big screen: "The Apprentice" is a gleefully vulgar fictional retelling of Donald Trump's origin story.

Streaming now: Cate Blanchett stars in an acclaimed director's new TV series, "Disclaimer." Here's our review.

Two decades of love stories that changed lives

My colleague Daniel Jones started The Times's Modern Love column 20 years ago this month. Since then, he has read some 200,000 love stories about romance and friendship, heartbreak and divorce.

Those stories have helped millions of people begin, grow or move past relationships. Here are examples of the column's real-life impact. They have also helped Daniel, who had no idea that the stories of separation, online dating and blended families would one day apply to him. Today, he wants to share the seven biggest lessons he learned about love and life.

For more: Look back at some of the most memorable Modern Love quotes, and see the process of illustrating the column.

ONE LAST THING

Billy Joel is movin' out

More than 50 years ago, a teenager from Hicksville, N.Y., spotted a stately brick mansion while working a minimum-wage job dredging oysters in Long Island Sound. "Rich bastards," he thought to himself. "I'll never live in a house like that."

Several decades and dozens of smash hits later, that kid — who we all now know as Billy Joel — bought the exact house in 2002. He's told that story countless times: An oysterman who grew up too poor to own a television now lives on a Gatsby-like estate with 18 bedrooms, three swimming pools, a bowling alley and a helipad. Now 75, Joel has decided to sell the home. It could be yours for $49.9 million.

Have a melodious weekend.
