He claims he was then strip-searched, forced to give blood samples, a facial scan and fingerprints.

Imagine having your biometrics taken and your blood forcibly siphoned by state-backed goons with guns for a meme.

Heads need to roll.

If you aren't prepared to beat up a US diplomat in retribution for ill treatment received in their land, simply don't travel to the US - because they don't currently have rule of law there.

I would advise to wait a long time. If things improve, the US might be possible to visit - maybe in 5 years. If things don't improve, there's nothing irreplaceable there - visiting some other place seems wiser.
