Try to push in on the liftgate, pull out on the handle and lift the tailgate.
If that don't work give it a coupl ehard pounds next to the handle then lift it.
Once you get it open you will want to saturate the latch/lock mechanism with WD-40, pB Blast, etc....
There is a thread on here somewhere, where someone unbolted the striker from underneath the jeep and opened the liftgate so they could remove the panel to get the latch unstuck.
