Why did we only get Khan's side of the story?

Mr. Khan claims that he was treated "roughly" by the authorities. Why didn't we get the authorities' side of the story? The bigger question, though, is why were they released? Last time I checked, credit card fraud was a crime. Were they prosecuted for the fraud and for their visa violations? They should have been deported.
