Docket 24-362

Curtrina Martin, Individually and as Parent and Next Friend of G. W., a Minor, et al., Petitioners v. United States, et al.

This case involves a lawsuit against the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) after FBI agents mistakenly executed a no-knock search warrant at the wrong home. The Supreme Court addressed whether the Supremacy Clause provides the government a defense in such suits and whether the FTCA's "law enforcement proviso" overrides the Act's discretionary-function exception.
