Lawyers on behalf of the migrants filed the case making allegations including violations of the Fourth and 14th amendments, civil rights violations, discrimination, false imprisonment, fraud/deceit, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, civil conspiracy and aiding and abetting.
