When Cafe Dodici co-owner Lorraine Williams listened to the restaurant’s answering machine Wednesday morning, she heard a message claiming to be from a Brooklyn, Iowa phone number.

But like others from across the state who have received the same call the message actually came from a group called The Road to Power, who suggest in the automated call that if Brooklyn resident Mollie Tibbetts were still alive she would support killing all Mexican immigrants. Some news organizations have linked The Road to Power back to a neo-nazi podcast. Williams called the anti-immigrant message scary, and related to her own experience emigrating to Italy, “Even back then at 19 I used to think, ‘Wow, I could go home at any time. I had a loving family here and a life I could lead in the United States,’ and this was a choice that I made and I couldn’t even imagine if I couldn’t go back home or if I was afraid to go back home for a fear of death or not being able to revisit my home and have to stay there forever. So I have a huge compassion for the immigrants of our country, my arms are wide open as they were for me in Italy to embrace them into our culture.”

Williams doesn’t know of anyone else in the Washington community who has received this robocall, but she encourages people to take action against the racist message, “As a community, be kinder, understand each other, engage with different cultures that we have here because we’re very fortunate to have lots of different nationalities in Washington, IA.”
