Deported U.S. citizen sues U.S.

"A U.S. citizen who was wrongly deported to Mexico is suing federal and local authorities, alleging his civil rights were violated simply because of his appearance.

Lawyers for Pedro Guzman, known to his family as Peter, allege he was singled out for deportation "solely on the basis of his perceived race and national origin," according to a complaint."
