Trina Martin's lawsuit against the U.S. government is set to be heard before the Supreme Court on Tuesday .

Martin 's attorney will ask the justices to reinstate her 2019 lawsuit.

The key issue before the justices is under what circumstances people can sue the federal government.

The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. ET ..

Martin said the most harrowing part of the raid was her son’s cries. “When you’re not able to protect your child or at least fight to protect your child, that’s a feeling that no parent ever wants to feel,” she said.
