TL;DR Summary

Families of US citizens detained abroad are urging President Joe Biden to do more to bring their loved ones home and deter foreign governments and groups from hostage-taking. The "Bring Our Families Home" campaign is calling for more prisoner swaps and easing of sanctions against countries holding US detainees. Over 60 Americans are currently held by foreign governments, including Russia, Iran, and Venezuela. The Biden administration has carried out three prisoner swaps and secured the release of another American. Families are also calling for a meeting with Biden to discuss the issue.
