Pay Up! IJ Wins First-of-Its-Kind Victory for Texas Property Owner
On June 22, for the first time in history, a federal court awarded damages against a municipality as compensation for the intentional destruction of private property by the city’s police. The case concerned a SWAT raid that occurred during the summer of 2020. IJ client Vicki Baker was in the process of selling her home in McKinney, Texas, in order to finance her retirement in Montana. She had already relocated to Montana when an armed fugitive—who had kidnapped a teenage girl—took refuge in her house in McKinney.
