Abstract

The article from the Ellis County Press discusses a case where a SWAT team raided the wrong home in a search for a suspected methamphetamine stash house. The team, led by Lieutenant Mike Lewis, entered the wrong house, causing trauma to the residents. Despite an internal investigation finding protocol was overlooked, Lewis was only suspended for two days. The residents sued, but a court ruled that Lewis was entitled to qualified immunity, a legal doctrine that shields government officials from accountability for violating constitutional rights.
