Congressman Jeff Duncan grilled DHS director Janet Napolitano stating in front of the committee with intent, "I am very concerned about this person of interest who was detained at the hospital in Boston. He was scheduled to be deported next week and now I understand he has been acquitted of any wrong doing in Boston. However, he is being deported on national security concerns.... I am assuming he has some link to terror otherwise he would not be deported".

The congressman also questions how DHS is actually removing the man (a possible suspect or witness) from the scene by deporting him. This raises concern amongst some citizens as the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi's trained on US military installations.

Napolitano fired back with a statement saying, "I am unaware of anyone being deported for national security reasons at all", then goes on to say, "again, I don't think that he was technically a person of interest or a suspect that was a wash". Napolitano reiterates how we should just let law enforcement do its job.

Janet Napolitano refused to answer further questions as the congressmen yielded back.
