Family, friends and supporters of Navy Lieutenant Ridge Alkonis rallied outside the White House demanding he be brought back to America. The rally happened while President Biden was meeting with the Prime Minister of Japan.

Brittany Alkonis speaks out on 'unimaginable' treatment after husband's arrest: 'They've abandoned' him foxnews.com/video/63187212… #FoxNews

Review: 1. US-Japan SOFA 2. ENFORCEMENT of the SOFA 3. Agreed upon views of the SOFA with all @DeptofDefense leadership. There shouldn't be a "difference of interpretation" regarding service member rights. Thank you Jon S. Eubanks and the Arkansas House for taking this 1st step.

6/6 Every service member and military family in Japan is at risk - all 100,000 of them. It’s unacceptable. America needs to protect the men and women they ORDER overseas to protect our country and other countries. @deptofdedense U.S. Navy U.S. Forces Japan @SecDef Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao

As a military spouse, this makes me furious. Do the right thing @DeptofDefense & correct your corruptible actions & advocate to #bringridgehome!

The prolonged detention of one of our servicemembers by one of our strongest allies is causing irreparable harm to our relationship & contradicts many understandings & agreements our nations have in place for US military personnel stationed abroad. #NY01 washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/…

The SOFA absolutely must be renegotiated, regardless of when #LtRidgeAlkonis is returned to the US. It’s Ridge today, but it could be any service member tomorrow. This should have never been allowed to happen. Shame on you U.S. Navy U.S. Forces Japan 在日米海軍司令部

254 days detained. 227th day of a 1095 day sentence. ⁦@SecDef⁩ ⁦Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao⁩ ⁦U.S. Forces Japan⁩ ⁦在日米海軍司令部⁩ Do better. Be better. Protect your people. ⁦BringRidgeHome⁩

For the past 24 hours I have been dizzy with grief due to yet another tragedy the @DeptofDefense and its leaders are responsible for. The first step to preventing suicide requires no cost analysis, it’s a simple change in attitude: view our service members as human beings. 1/3

Hi supporters, Shoot @potus a text with #BringRidgeHome! (302) 404-0880

Tomorrow will be the 280th day our three young children have to spend without their father. This doesn’t include 27 days of pretrial confinement. Or the years Ridge spent deployed, protecting our country. President Donald J. Trump Vice President JD Vance Jake Sullivan Archived you can end this. You can BringRidgeHome

Designate all the wrongfully detained. Don’t give allied nations a pass on human rights. Bring Ridge Home! BringRidgeHome President Donald J. Trump Vice President JD Vance Jake Sullivan Archived Secretary Antony Blinken Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs

🚨Japan has released Navy Lieutenant Ridge Alkonis to U.S. custody as part of an international prisoner transfer agreement. U.S. Department of Justice now has jurisdiction over LT Alkonis and will determine any further incarceration.

With LT Alkonis finally free, I look forward to working with Congress to address the gross lack of support from the U.S. Navy and @DeptofDefense for Alkonis. Many of the military's uniformed and civilian leadership actions fall into "fraud, waste, and abuse."

To all military spouses, your military member’s career will be affected by everything you do and say. #LtRidgeAlkonis is being punished for MY advocacy and nothing more. @SecDef Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan shame on you. President Donald J. Trump your military leaders are failing your service members.

Alkonis’s promotion should have been based on this 👇, not Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan’s retribution for unwanted media and political attention.

🚨Instagram permanently deleted the BringRidgeHome IG today without warning.🚨 The account had over 20k followers and had accumulated millions of views across posts/reels/stories. Who’s behind this censorship? Japan? DoD? Suspicious since those two entities have been most

He gave my voice a platform & without it I don’t believe Ridge would be home. Thank you Jake Tapper 🦅! It was surreal and wonderful to have you both in the same room. To wrongfully detained families, find your platform, find your champion. To President Donald J. Trump finish the job #BringThemHome
