Earlier this month, Rubio designated Afghanistan a &#8220;state sponsor of wrongful detention,&#8221; accusing the group of unlawfully holding Americans and other foreign nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials say several Americans are still believed to be detained in Afghanistan, including Mahmood Habibi and Paul Overby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trump administration has made the return of detained Americans a central priority during the president\u2019s second term. According to U.S. officials, 176 individuals \u2014 including more than 100 Americans \u2014 have been brought home from wrongful detention or captivity abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That effort has included multiple high-profile cases. In Afghanistan, Americans such as George Glezmann, Ryan Corbett, and William McKenty were freed following negotiations involving U.S. envoys and regional intermediaries like Qatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elsewhere, the administration secured the release of Americans held in Venezuela, Russia, and by Hamas in Gaza, including teacher Marc Fogel and American-Israeli hostage Keith Siegel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. officials say many of these releases have relied on sustained diplomatic pressure and coordination with allies, particularly in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In Israel, the president and his team\u2019s dogged persistence resulted in the release of all hostages held by Hamas,&#8221; Boehler said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Behind these outcomes are professionals whose names will never be known\u2014individuals who take real risks to bring Americans home.
