Supreme Court ruling on wrong-house raid

The Supreme Court ruled that a family can sue law enforcement for a wrong-house raid, despite the usual immunity of the federal government. The case involved FBI and SWAT agents raiding a home in Atlanta in 2017. The court had to decide if victims can sue for such raids under the Federal Tort Claims Act, even if the officers were not following government orders. The unanimous decision marks a change from previous rejections of similar claims by the court.
