The FBI mistakenly raided their Atlanta home. Now the Supreme Court will hear their lawsuit

FBI agents raided Trina Martin's Atlanta home before dawn on October 18, 2017.
Agents sought a gang suspect residing several houses away, misled by a personal GPS device.
Agents broke down the door, deployed a flashbang, and handcuffed Martin's then-boyfriend inside.
Martin's 7-year-old son screamed during the event, and the family received no government compensation.
Martin's attorney will ask the Supreme Court on Tuesday to revive her case against the federal government.
