Saudi student hurt in Boston bombing not a suspect, not being deported

A Saudi student questioned in connection to the bombing of the Boston Marathon is not being deported, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a House panel Thursday.

“I am unaware of anyone who is being deported for national security concerns at all related to Boston. I don’t know where that rumor came from,” Napolitano said.

Administration officials told The Hill on Thursday that news reports about the student injured in the bombing are confusing him with another student from Saudi Arabia who was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for violating his visa.

The first Saudi student is not a suspect in the Boston bombings but was hospitalized after the attack and questioned. Authorities also searched his apartment in Revere, a suburb of Boston.

1. The deportation rumor came from Steve Emerson

on Hannity's show last night. No proof. Some "expert". Total liar.

6. Drudge was also flogging it

Drudge linked to a story on infowars that insinuated Obama was protecting the Saudi student from deportation and the Saudi student might still be involved, but his involvement is being covered up by the Obama Administration.

No joke. These people are straight up nuts.

2. This is Why

I'm so hoping the one guy is white and the other guy has a very American story. These people are just waiting to explode on Muslims and cover ups.

eastern.

not that its easy to see what they look like, but why would your default be arab/ME unless that's what you were biased toward seeing?

3. Hey, thanks!

I needed that link. Just embarrassed a sister in a round about way by not replying directly to her mention of this about an hour ago in reply to my post on an unrelated subject. (I know. WTH?) So now I posted this separately, quite removed from her reference, so not to publicly give her comeuppance. Yet still make my point.

See, sisters do this. Believe me, there are people here who actually can follow exactly what I mean.
