Despite the FBI's acknowledgment of the mistake, the agency did not offer any compensation for the damages or psychological impact suffered by Martin's family.

Public interest groups are advocating for the Supreme Court to overturn the 11th Circuit's ruling, highlighting the need for clarity on legal standards regarding mistaken law enforcement raids.

Lawmakers contend that the Supreme Court's decision could significantly affect individuals' ability to seek compensation for similar incidents in the future.

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear Trina Martin's lawsuit against the government following a mistaken FBI raid on her Atlanta home in October 2017.

The case raises significant questions about the immunity of federal law enforcement under the Federal Tort Claims Act, as lower courts have dismissed similar lawsuits based on governmental immunity.

Lower courts, including the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, dismissed Martin's case, citing the Constitution's Supremacy Clause, which prioritizes federal law and grants discretion to law enforcement in high-risk situations.

During the raid, FBI agents mistakenly targeted Martin's home while searching for a suspected gang member, realizing their error when they found that the individual they were looking for did not match anyone in the house.

The raid left Martin and her family traumatized, with lasting psychological effects, including anxiety in her son and Martin's own struggles with mental health.

Martin's attorneys argue that the Federal Tort Claims Act, amended in 1974, allows for lawsuits against federal agents in cases of law enforcement errors, emphasizing the need for accountability.

Justice Department lawyers maintain that the FBI acted in good faith during the raid and argue that courts should refrain from questioning law enforcement actions in such contexts.

The traumatic experience has had a profound effect on Martin, who has since stopped coaching track due to the reminders of the incident.

Current lawmakers argue that Congress intended for the Federal Tort Claims Act to apply to cases involving law enforcement errors, reinforcing the argument for accountability.
