Immunity & Accountability

On February 25, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Brownback v. King, the first case in IJ’s Project on Immunity and Accountability to reach the high court. While the Justices sided with the government on an obscure issue of jurisdiction, handing it a technical win, they declined the government’s request to end James King’s fight for accountability. The case—and the most central issue for the purposes of our Project—will now continue in the lower courts.
