Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Corporación Cimex, S. A. (Cuba) · ¶46

This Court’s general sovereign immunity precedents— most recently Kirtz—hold that when, as here, Congress creates a cause of action and expressly applies the cause of action against government agencies or instrumentalities, Congress has abrogated sovereign immunity. See 601 U. S., at 49–50; see also Kimel v. Florida Bd. of Regents, 528 U. S. 62, 73–74 (2000); Nevada Dept. of Human Resources v. Hibbs, 538 U. S. 721, 726 (2003); Financial Oversight and Management Bd. for P. R. v. Centro De Periodismo Investigativo, Inc., 598 U. S. 339, 347–348 (2023) (FOMB).
