The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA), 42 U.S.C. 2000cc et seq., like the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA), 42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq., specifies that a person aggrieved under the statute may "obtain appropriate relief against a government." In Tanzin v. Tanvir, 592 U.S. 43 (2020), this Court held that individuals may sue government officials in their individual capacities for damages under RFRA. This Court then granted certiorari and earlier this term heard oral argument in Landor v. Louisiana, Case No. 23-1197. The question presented in Landor is whether an individual may sue a government official in his individual capacity for damages for violations of RLUIPA. The question presented in this case is identical.
