Debra Tice, mother of missing Marine Austin Tice, expresses hope for Trump's administration after years of silence from Biden. She met with Syria's new leadership and visited notorious prisons in the country.
President Trump has pledged to do everything in his power to bring home Austin Tice , a Marine veteran who disappeared over 12 years ago while working as a journalist in Syria , according to his mother. Trump's team reached out even before his return to the White House on Monday, a stark contrast to the four years of silence from President Biden's administration, Debra Tice said Sunday.
\\u201cI have great hope that the Trump administration will sincerely engage in diligent work to bring Austin home,\u201d the hopeful mother stated during her first visit to Damascus since insurgents overthrew President Bashar al-Assad last month. \u201cHis people have already reached out to me. I haven\u2019t experienced that for the last four years,\u201d she said, referring to Biden's time in office. \Tice was last heard from in a video released weeks after his disappearance, showing him blindfolded and held by armed men, uttering \u201cOh, Jesus.\u201d Biden had stated in December that \u201cAssad should be held accountable\u201d for Tice's absence, while only claiming that his administration had \u201cno direct evidence\u201d of his well-being. Debra Tice reported a productive meeting with Ahmad al-Sharaa, the leader of Syria's new administration, who she described as \u201cdedicated and determined\u201d to help reunite her with her son and assist others who remain missing. \She also visited two military intelligence prisons in Syria, infamous for mass incarceration and systematic torture, calling them an \u201cunbelievably horrible nightmare.\u201d \u201cAustin, if you can somehow hear this, I love you. I know you're not giving up, and neither am I,\u201d Debra Tice pleaded. President Trump's team has vowed to bring Tice home, a mission the outgoing Biden administration failed to accomplish. He is among tens of thousands who have vanished in Syria since 2011 when nationwide protests against Assad escalated into a devastating civil war
