Many know him as Joe, the Navy SEAL, squad leader and brave warrior on any battlefield. But to his kids, they see “Dad” the superhero any child sees when they think of their father. This post is dedicated to him, my brother, the superhero-father, Wilbert Joseph Castaneda.

Dear President Donald J. Trump Donald J. Trump Steve Witkoff Richard Grenell Adam Boehler Sebastian Gorka DrG - we have learned that the deals to bring home our American hostages & wrongful detainees never get better. We have learned that the longer we wait to make those deals, the more world events get in

Lucas Hunter's great aunt appeals to President Donald J. Trump to bring home Lucas. He has been wrongfully detained by the Venezuelan authorities for 160 days. Lucas was not even in #Venezuela. He was windsurfing in Colombia. Donald J. Trump - please meet with Lucas's family and give them hope

Thanks to the surfer community’s support for Lucas, an American surfer wrongfully detained in Venezuela since January SurferToday.com Surfers should be able to surf & not worry about being kidnapped to another country. We know you understand surfers safety! DNI Tulsi Gabbard

Wilbert Castaneda has been unlawfully detained in Venezuela since Aug. 2024. For over 300 days, his family hasn’t seen or heard from him. There is no shred of evidence supporting the charges against him; a clear sign that he was targeted simply because he’s American. President Donald J. Trump

Several Americans are still unlawfully held abroad, trapped, silenced, & used as political pawns. Some have been officially labeled “wrongfully detained.” Others haven’t yet, but their suffering is the same. From Syria to Iran, Russia to Venezuela, China, Afghanistan, Cuba,

In light of reporting that Iranian President Pezeshkian is encouraging Iranian diaspora to return to Iran, we reiterate our STRONG warning: Americans, especially Iranian-Americans, should NOT travel to Iran. The risk of wrongful detention is too great.
