Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Corporación Cimex, S. A. (Cuba) · ¶44

A congressional waiver of sovereign immunity must be “clearly discernible from the sum total” of Congress’s “work.” Department of Agriculture Rural Development Rural Housing Service v. Kirtz, 601 U. S. 42, 55 (2024) (quotation marks omitted). In other words, Congress must make its waiver “unmistakably clear in the language of the statute.” Id., at 49 (quotation marks omitted). Under this Court’s precedents, a statute creating a cause of action that explicitly applies against a sovereign waives the immunity of that sovereign, “even without a separate waiver provision.” Id., at 53.
