The Saudi national who was initially detained and then ruled out as a suspect in the Boston Marathon terrorist attack had been flagged on a terror watch list and was granted a student visa without being properly vetted, sources have told me.
A source close to the investigation revealed that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi had been deemed inadmissible under the section of the Immigration and Nationality Act which declares ineligible for a visa any alien who is engaged in or is likely to engage after entry in terrorist activity.
At least two additional sources have confirmed to me that Ali Alharbi is set to be deported as early as this week, contrary to statements made by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
SNIP
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement official told me that it was a case a Saudi being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The official, with knowledge of the case, said Alharbis status has changed but as it now stands he will be sent back home.
They dont like the negative press, the official said of the Saudis. The guess is he will probably be allowed to leave without a lot of hype in order to avoid political sensitivities with the Saudis.

With burns on his hands and looking so suspicious that the general public tackled and held him.
If we had a true loyal opposition they’d be all over this right now and this guy wouldn’t be going anywhere.
Unfortunately, we have the GOPe.
I will take Vito Corleone's advise on this one: I don't believe in coincidences.
Any Saudi in this country is in the “wrong place”, period.
bump
bttt
Agreed but this is a stark lesson for those who say “enforce the current laws”.
We know this admin has no intention of doing that for the next 4 years.
Sad but true.
One report in one Saudi newspaper.....not reported anywhere else....so if you believe you can take a Saudi newspaper as gospel...then run with it. Others have.
Did I hear that right...
Saudi Students are basically considered... Canadian.....
WTF!!!!!
It was initially reported that he was attending an English language school.
fuente~:” .. Somebody had to override the system that their is a name and signature associated with this item.”
Right ! and “..that is not even worthy of a response”
Burned hands at the scene of the bombing..
Person of interest..
In Custody ..
Order of deportation
Hospital visit with Moochelle
No longer in custody
Voluntary departure from the U.S.
“..that is not even worthy of a response” is even more troublesome since it came from Napolitano / DHS

This is why Rand Paul’s “Enforce the immigration law” part of immigration reform is so damned laughable...
Dear Leader wants more laws to selectively enforce against loyal citizenry, but does not want to enforce existing laws against his foreign political ‘friends’.
OK so it’s nearly 2 hours into Glenn Beck’s show... what is this stunning news revalation? (for us cubicle bound)
And how many more just like him are still wandering amongst us?
BlatherNaut ~: “So what is he doing in an apartment in Boston????
It was initially reported that he was attending an English language school.”
Occupying an apartment in BOston Mass. ,
but supposed to be in school in Findley Ohio
That’s a hell of a daily commute !
And worthy of a ‘royal’ visit by our flotus.
Yeah, that’s why Michelle Obama high-tailed it up to the hospital to see him but didn’t bother to visit any of the other real victims of the dual-bomb attack.
Even IF we had a properly functioning immigration vetting system, there would still be special consideration for specially connected people.
It's the same with ALL gov't., favors are traded, money changes hands...etc.
And I don’t think that guy’s last name is really Alharbi, either.
