@jaketapper asks Kirby if @POTUS will address #LtRidgeAlkonis w/ @kishida230 this week. The idea that this is a legal problem in a political box has passed. There is nothing legally keeping Ridge from be being transferred back to the US today. What is? 👉https://t.co/V9pHihz9hJ
I believe it when I'm told they want #LtRidgeAlkonis home, but I also believe when they say I "can't assume that what's in [my] husband's best interest is what's in the @USNavy or the alliance's best interest."
The day that changes is the day they @BringRidgeHome
TY @jaketapper
These two adore each other.

This little girl’s heart breaks a little more each and every day. You can bring an end to it. Do the right thing. Protect your service members.
@BringRidgeHome
No honorable @USNavy Officer should be forcibly imprisoned and denied due process by a country he was ordered to protect due to a deeply troubling and broken hostage justice system.
@SenAlexPadilla it’s time for public, unwavering support. @BringRidgeHome
Deputy Alkonis from @CarsonLASD tells us about her Pacific Islander heritage and how working in community relations allows her to connect with the South Bay community of @cityofcarson_ca and help assist our @CountyofLA youth.
This is #LtRidgeAlkonis’ sister. Ridge’s dad is a recently retired @LACOFD Fire Chief. Ridge has spent nearly 11 years in the service of this country as a Naval Officer.
@SenAlexPadilla this family has given so much in the service of their state and country. @BringRidgeHome
#BringRidgeHome. Mr. President please bring Naval Academy graduate Lt. Ridge Alkonis home & reactivate his commission immediately. When did the US start letting the Japanese determine who can be an officer in our military? He should not have been imprisoned even one day!
