The provided text consists of excerpts from a Supreme Court syllabus and opinion in the case of Martin v. United States, decided in 2025. The core of the case concerns the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), specifically addressing two points of law disputed by the Eleventh Circuit. First, the Court clarifies that the FTCA's "law enforcement proviso" only overrides the intentional-tort exception within its specific subsection, not other exceptions like the discretionary-function exception. Second, the Court rejects the Eleventh Circuit's unique interpretation that the Supremacy Clause provides the U.S. government with a defense in FTCA suits. The case is remanded for reconsideration under these clarified legal principles, particularly regarding the application of the discretionary-function exception to the plaintiffs' claims stemming from a wrongful FBI raid on their home.
