The suit aims to test government actions surrounding the raid and raises questions about venue and potential further defendants.

Six U S residents detained in Tijuana on immigrant smuggling charges are deported after a Mexican judge finds insufficient evidence. The group included three U S citizens and had aided Iraqi Christians seeking asylum. The investigation notes many Iraqis were processed at the hotel and at the U S border, while 152 Iraqis were paroled by INS.
