Families of detained Americans plead for meeting with Biden

Washington — Families of Americans detained abroad showed up on President Biden's doorstep Wednesday to plead — again — for a meeting with him. 

A group of family members of those wrongfully detained and held hostage around the world, who call themselves the Bring Our Families Home Campaign, gathered in front of the White House, desperate for Mr. Biden to hear their stories. The group has repeatedly requested meetings with the president, but says they have been ignored. 

They believe a meeting or phone call with the president would make the U.S. government act with more urgency in bringing their loved ones home.
