2) Summary of the Opinion
Martin sued the federal government after an FBI wrong-house raid caused significant harm. The government argued the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA)’s discretionary function exception and the Supremacy Clause barred the claim. The Supreme Court disagreed, holding that the FTCA’s law enforcement proviso allows suits for certain intentional torts by federal officers, and neither the discretionary function exception nor Supremacy Clause immunized the government in this context.
