I will always remember and I will always boycott Turks and Caicos 🇹🇨, if this man isn’t returned to his country and reunited with his family post haste. That should be a crime added to criminal charges against criminals, NOT unwitting tourists who obviously mean NOR POSED anyone any harm whatsoever. It used to mean something to be American 🇺🇸. We need to stick together again. And also, BAN ANY AND ALL TRAVEL TO “hostage diplomacy “ countries!
