‘When the government harms innocent people, it has a responsibility to make things right’
By Bob Unruh
The Supreme Court has agreed to review the case of an Atlanta family targeted – wrongly – during an FBI SWAT raid.
Their home was broken into and they were subjected to the tactics SWAT teams use to arrest fugitives.
Then the government refused to pay their costs.
According to the Institute for Justice, which has represented the family, the decision will be over whether the Federal Torts Claims Act case can move forward.
Victimized by the government scheme were Trina Martin, her son Gabe, and her partner Toi Cliatt.
“What happened to us was deeply unjust, and I’m relieved that the Supreme Court is taking up our fight for justice and accountability,” Trina said in a statement released by her lawyers.
