"The attorney for a woman who was shot by federal agents in Chicago over the weekend after she allegedly rammed a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) vehicle has claimed that body-camera footage captures one of the officers saying, Do something, bitch, before opening fire, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The shooting occurred on Saturday morning in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood, as immigration agents, at the behest of the second Trump administration, have been scouring Illinois's largest city for people to deport."
"Federal agents allege that the woman, 30-year-old Marimar Martinez, was involved in a vehicle chase that ended in her ramming a CBP vehicle. Authorities claim that a government vehicle carrying three border protection agents was followed and boxed in by a convoy of civilian vehicles, including cars driven by Martinez and another driver, 21-year-old Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz. Both Martinez and Ruiz have been charged with forcibly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with a federal law enforcement officer, according to the US justice department. On Monday, after Martinez's attorney disputed the government's portrayal of the case, a judge ordered her and Ruiz released from custody pending trial, ABC7 Chicago reported."
