A Supreme Court case is set to address the accountability of law enforcement in instances of wrong-house raids, highlighted by an incident in Atlanta where FBI agents inadvertently targeted the wrong home. Lawyers for the affected residents argue that the government should be liable for such mistakes, contrasting with the federal government’s stance that immunity from lawsuits protects agents from second-guessing policy decisions. This case questions the balance between national security tactics and individual rights to privacy and safety in one's home.
All Americans have the right to feel secure in their homes. When the federal government breaches that security, it has the responsibility to make things right.
Siding with the victims would expose the federal government to claims that Congress plainly intended to bar, including claims inviting judicial second-guessing of policy judgments.
