On 3/7, @ij.org filed our merits brief in Martin v. US.
We explain why the gov’t can’t claim #SovereignImmunity for intentional torts committed by FBI agents raiding the wrong house.
This case is about one of the last threads of federal accountability.
The gov’t’s trying to cut it.

So the judicial hypocrisy:
Courts bar folks from enforcing their rights unless Congress says they can.
Yet when Congress says they can, courts bar folks anyhow by creating and applying immunities - here, #QualifiedImmunity & #SovereignImmunity.
#SCOTUS must address this. 7/8
And Congress DID provide a damages action for @IJ.org’s clients in Martin v. U.S.
This action is enshrined in the FTCA and applies to federal police.
In fact, the FTCA waives #SovereignImmunity, but the 11th Cir. put it back!
Again, usurping Congress’s policymaking role. 5/8
If you think I'm being hyperbolic about the kooky 11th Cir. rule that says its unconstitutional for Congress to waive #SovereignImmunity for *most* actions of federal employees, you can real the full opinion below.
