Amar Samel and his wife Muna Abdalla, found a hateful note taped to their front door when he returned home after midnight following his father's death. The note had been left while his wife and children were home by themselves. It read "You can all go home now. We don’t want [Expletive] and terrorists here. #Trump."
The Iowa City police department compounded the problem by improperly refusing to come to the home for a statement or to retrieve evidence. When Iowa City's Gazette reached out to the city's police chief, Bill Campbell, he decried the lack of action and immediately assigned a detective to the case, but unfortunately, the evidence that could have been retrieved has been compromised.
Amar and Muna are exemplary of the American dream. They emigrated here from Sudan in 2010, became citizens a year ago, and have four children in Iowa public schools. They both maintain employment in the city, and have recently purchase a house through the non profit organization Habitat for Humanity.
They are the kind of people that have made America great all ready.
We should be so very ashamed.
