Mother of journalist murdered by ISIS discusses how the U.S. handles hostage situations

President Biden this week signed an executive order to improve efforts to free more than 60 U.S. nationals held hostage or who are wrongfully detained abroad. Diane Foley's son was an American journalist kidnapped in Syria in 2012 and killed by ISIS in 2014. She now advocates for the freedom of Americans held abroad with the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation, and she joins Judy Woodruff to discuss.
