Delegate Eni Faleomavaega has asked the Department of Homeland Security to begin an investigation into death of 14-day-old Michael Tony Futi last Friday.
The baby had been flown to Honolulu for emergency heart surgery. He died while detained inside a customs' room at the Honolulu airport with his mother and a nurse.
A lawyer for the family announced plans to sue the federal government over the baby's death.
Faleomavaega called for the probe in a letter issued to Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff.
