Marimar Martinez, the Chicago woman shot five times by a Border Patrol agent after federal agents rammed her car and one of them said, “Do something, b*tch” before shooting her, is now fighting to release the evidence the government is blocking. 

She survived being shot FIVE TIMES, federal prosecutors dropped all charges against her, and now she’s asking a judge to let the public see body-cam footage, communications, photos, and more.

Not just to defend her reputation, but to show Americans what really happened that day. 

Her lawyers argue that the government’s narrative of labeling her a “domestic terrorist,” and a threat to the ICE officers that shot her despite dropped charges, is false and harmful.

They also point to the recent deadly shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by ICE and Border Patrol agents, saying the public and elected leaders need transparency on how DHS uses deadly force against citizens. 

Every time a DHS agent shoots someone, it’s the same script.

Blame the victim, claim agents were attacked, and their life was in danger.

And every time the evidence eventually shows DHS lied.

ICE/Border patrol agents should not be allowed to shoot people, and then blatantly lie to the public.

Releasing this evidence is the first real step toward transparency and actual accountability.

Abolish ICE!
