I am praying for Robert and his family today.

Over the past two years, my office has been working closely with the family of Robert Gilman – a Massachusetts resident and former Marine who has been wrongfully detained in Russia on questionable charges for 1,666 days.

I urge the Trump administration to use Robert’s case as motivation to continue to advocate for the release of others wrongfully detained in Russia and around the world.

We cannot rely on courts alone to secure strong protections for our kids’ privacy and safety — Congress must act.
