Reportedly, the 25 individuals had possible links to the Mujahedin e-Khalq (MEK)—a known terrorist organization. (BTS Daily Operations Report, 20 November 04; HSOC 4444-04)

     As you are no doubt aware, Michael Isikoff has reported on John Ashcroft's links with Mujahedin-e Khalq, but Ashcroft will not be deported to Iraq.  It's not just Ashcroft.  Over 200 Congresscritters voiced their support for Saddam's MEK (yes, it was a Saddam backed organization) in the late 1990s.  Such fickle friends they are!
