Federal prosecutors moved Thursday to dismiss charges against a woman who was shot several times by a Border Patrol agent last month during the federal immigration crackdown in the Chicago area.
Prosecutors had accused Marimar Martinez, 30, and Anthony Ruiz, 21, of using their vehicles to strike and box in Border Patrol agent Charles Exum’s vehicle on Oct. 4 on Chicago’s southwest side. Exum then exited his car and opened fire at Martinez, who suffered seven gunshot wounds.
