The attorney for a 30-year-old Chicago woman shot by a federal agent over the weekend claims that body-camera footage captures the officer taunting her, saying, “Do something, b****,” moments before opening fire. This is the shocking new detail to come out of the shooting that happened on Saturday morning in the Brighton Park neighborhood, as federal immigration agents, acting on behalf of the Trump administration, have been searching Chicago for people to deport.
The shooting victim, Marimar Martinez, and a 21-year-old man, Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, have been officially charged with “forcibly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with a federal law enforcement officer”. The government’s official criminal complaint alleges that a “convoy of civilian vehicles,” including those driven by Martinez and Ruiz, followed and aggressively pursued a government vehicle carrying three border protection agents, eventually boxing them in, per The Guardian.
