That was the response today from our director of Homeland Security when asked by Rep. Trent Franks about the case of the Sudanese woman condemned to death for apostasy. The woman is married to an American citizen and has two children, one just born, who are in prison with her. She is reportedly been shackled to the floor of her cell for 4 months. The children are American citizens as well. Mr Johnson has the power to grant instant refugee status to all three, yet, he only thinks he has heard about the woman. Below is tonight's interview of Tony Perkins, Family Research Council, by Fox's Megyn Kelly.

I guess we can only pray that some very quiet but strong diplomacy is going on behind closed doors. I understand that we still give foreign aid to this cesspool of a country-why I don't know. If so, that should be a leverage.

Last I knew, the three individuals concerned are not in "the Homeland." The point of Homeland Security being consolidated in a department was to tighten up defense of the actual territory of the United States, as distinct from our military commitments all over the world.
It certainly wasn't so vagrant congress critters could have one more department head to quiz about any point du jour they want to grandstand about.
This is a subject for
a) the State Department, or,
b) the Department of Defense, if, that is, you favor sending in the marines or the navy seals to rescue the family.
Chattering with feigned moral outrage is not going to do the woman much good.
