GovExec Daily: The Supreme Court Says Federal Officials Are 'Absolutely Immunized' From Personal Lawsuits

Eric Katz joins the podcast to discuss a recent ruling from the high court.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a Washington state innkeeper does not have implied causes of action against a federal agent for alleged constitutional violations arising from the enforcement of immigration laws along the U.S.-Canada border. The ruling may create a broad precedent that legal experts have said  would make it nearly impossible to sue federal officials and law enforcement.

GovExec Senior Correspondent Eric Katz is covering the case.  He joined the podcast to talk about the case and what it means for federal law enforcement.
