Meanwhile, in the aftermath of Trump’s comments, Islamophobic incidents continue nationwide. On Thursday, the Capitol Hill office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations was evacuated after a threatening envelope arrived by mail. The letter contained a suspicious white powder and a note reading, “Die a painful death, Muslims.” CAIR spokesperson Ibrahim Hooper told reporters that tests showed the powder posed no danger.

Ibrahim Hooper: “Field tests are showing that there’s no hazard. It is now in the hands of the FBI, who will do more extensive tests on it to confirm that there’s not a—that the substance was not dangerous. So we’re thankful to fire and police authorities for their prompt action, and we’re glad that hopefully it’s not a dangerous substance that was sent to us in an envelope that contained a hate message.”
