Financial Oversight and Management Bd. for P. R. v. Centro De Periodismo Investigativo, Inc.

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA) does not categorically abrogate the Financial Oversight and Management Board's sovereign immunity, and therefore reversed the First Circuit’s decision and remanded for further proceedings. Justice Thomas dissented, arguing the Board lacks any immunity and that the Court should have addressed that antecedent question.
