In 2017, F.B.I. agents mistakenly raided the home of Hilliard Toi Cliatt and Curtrina Martin in Atlanta due to a GPS misdirection. The agents, equipped with weapons, forced their way in, traumatizing the couple, particularly as they were fearful for their child's safety. Despite the couple suing the government for various claims, including false arrest, courts ultimately dismissed the case due to sovereign immunity protections for government officials, underscoring issues of accountability within law enforcement actions during raids.
F.B.I. agents executed a high-stakes raid on the wrong Atlanta home due to a GPS error, leading to a lawsuit from the traumatized couple.
The couple's lawsuit against the FBI, citing false arrest and battery, was unsuccessful as courts upheld government officials' immunity in carrying out their duties.
