    DWF - Syrien Refugees in Iowa
    Syrian Refugees

    Sedra Tameem walks her younger sister and brother, Hala and Mutaz, to their busstop in the family's Des Moines neighborhood.

    Ghazweh Aljabooli and her husband, Abdul Fattah Tameem, are refugees from Syria who were placed in Des Moines, Iowa with their five children. The family's hometown of Homs has seen some of the most fierce fighting and destruction of the civil war in Syria. For two years the family fled fighting within Syria before making it to Jordan, where they began the long process of of getting refugee status in the United States. From Jordan, Aljabooli and Tameem and their children were flown to Iowa to start a new life in middle America. While the transition has not been easy Tameem says, "the only positive thing is my kids are safe, this is essential."

    Iowa's Republican Governor, Terry Branstad, has apposed Syrian refugees being placed in his state. The federal government is in charge of refugee settlement though, and the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, a nonprofit that contracts with the U.S. Department of State, settled the Tameem family in Des Moines.

    DWF - Lockdown Inc. (The Republican National Convention)
    Republican National Convention

    Celebrations after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

    LOCKDOWN: The Republican National Convention transformed downtown Cleveland into a maze of steel and concrete barriers constructed to protect Quicken Loans Arena from assault or protest. Law enforcement on bikes, horseback and in rapid response squads occupied much of the city. Side streets appeared empty and many restaurants and bars were quiet. In places, downtown Cleveland felt void of life, the lockdown scaring all but the most faithful away.

    Inside the convention the Jumbotron projected a vision of strength and unapologetic aggression. Speech after speech worked to reinforce the need for order and security. With domestic attacks in Dallas, Orlando and San Bernardino on many people?s minds, the message seemed universally accepted. The alliance between a billionaire businessman and Republicans was locked in, even if the party establishment was cold to the relationship. The celebration continued and the empty streets waited outside?
