i listened to the oral argument. they were patronizing the lawyer for Mexico. it was clear that the First Circuit simply ignored the statute.

"But Judge William J. Kayatta Jr., an Obama appointee who serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, writing for a unanimous majority, revived the lawsuit. The ruling said that plaintiffs had made a “plausible” argument that their case was “statutorily exempt” from the immunity shield."

btw, Kayatta wrote the opinion reversing the death sentence for the Boston Marathon bomber but SCOTUS re-instated it.
