The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously revived a lawsuit filed by an Atlanta family whose home was mistakenly raided by the FBI, overturning a decision by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that had barred the family’s claims. Agents executing a 2017 predawn warrant for a suspected gang member stormed the Martins’ residence, deploying a flash-bang grenade, breaking down the door and holding the couple and their seven-year-old son at gunpoint. The operation caused significant property damage and, according to the complaint, physical and emotional harm to the family. In the 9-0 opinion, the justices ruled that federal officers are not categorically immune from liability under the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause and that the family’s claims may proceed under the Federal Tort Claims Act. The case returns to the lower courts for further proceedings, clarifying that victims of misdirected federal law-enforcement raids can seek compensation from the government.
