Supreme Court to review wrong-house FBI raid lawsuit

Published January 27, 2025 8:08pm ET



The Supreme Court announced on Monday that it will review whether the FBI is immune from a lawsuit brought by an Atlanta family whose home was mistakenly raided by an FBI SWAT team in 2017.

The case, Martin v. U.S., will examine whether the family can seek redress under the Federal Tort Claims Act, or FTCA. The eventual ruling, expected by the end of June or early July, could set precedent on whether homeowners can seek damages in the event of a wrongful raid.
