Debra Tice has dedicated over 12 years to finding her son, Austin Tice, a Marine veteran and journalist abducted in Syria in 2012. Despite the challenges, she remains hopeful for his safe return. Tice recently expressed optimism about the Trump administration's involvement in her son's case, calling it a 'breath of fresh air.'

During her visit to Syria, Tice met with Ahmed al-Sharaa, the de facto leader post-Assad's overthrow. She toured abandoned prisons, gaining insight into her son's possible conditions. Tice urged US officials to witness these prisons firsthand to understand Austin's plight.
