Biden issued a statement demanding the release of Mark Frerichs, on the second anniversary of his kidnapping, which reportedly took place Jan. 31, 2020, while President Trump was in office.
Frerichs is a Navy veteran and had been working as a civil engineer in Afghanistan for 10 years when he was captured. His sister traveled to Washington D. C. last year to ask the president to make it a priority to bring Frerichs home. There was no response from Biden, but she did meet with representatives from the Justice Department and the FBI. Afghan residents were evacuated and relocated to the United States, but Frerichs remained missing.
Mark is a native of Illinois. A son. A brother. And his family has now endured two gut-wrenching years—praying for his safety, wondering where and how he is, aching for his return. Threatening the safety of Americans or any innocent civilians is always unacceptable, and hostage-taking is an act of particular cruelty and cowardice. The Taliban must immediately release Mark before it can expect any consideration of its aspirations for legitimacy. This is not negotiable.
