In January, #immigration personnel in Minneapolis shot #RenéeGood & #AlexPretti in separate incidents days apart. 3 months earlier, a #CBP agent shot & injured #MarimarMartinez in Chicago. In each of those 3 cases, admin officials accused the victims of endangering the officers before they were killed, &…their characterizations were proved false once more information about the #shootings became public.

It is a miracle that #MarimarMartinez is still alive.

I hope the agent who shot her face trial for attempted murder. And those who assisted him and supported him, for coverup of a crime.

I hope she sues the agencies, and personally all those implicated in her attempted murder.

I am glad she is alive 🙏🏽

New Body-Camera Footage and Emails Released in CBP Shooting of Marimar Martinez

New bodycam footage and emails have been released, revealing new details about how a federal immigration agent shot U.S. citizen Marimar Martinez five times in Chicago last October. The footage shows Border Patrol agents in their vehicle with weapons drawn and fingers on the triggers, as Martínez can be heard honking her car’s horn in the background to alert neighbors about the presence of federal agents. Border Patrol agent: “Do something, bitch. … All right, it’s time to get aggressive and get the f— out.” Shortly after the incident, Gregory Bovino, who was leading the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign at the time, emailed the agent, “In light of your excellent service in Chicago, you have much yet left to do!!” Martinez’s attorneys said Wednesday they will seek tens of millions of dollars in damages under the Federal Torts Claim Act.

Attorneys for woman shot by Border Patrol release records that contradict government account

Attorneys for a woman shot multiple times by a Border Patrol agent last year in Chicago say newly-released videos, texts and emails show how the Trump administration mishandles investigations and spreads misinformation. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by a Border Patrol agent in October. The teaching assistant who's a U.S. citizen was charged with a felony after Homeland Security officials accused her of trying to ram agents with her vehicle. But the case was dismissed. Her attorneys wanted evidence in her now-dissolved criminal case public, especially after a federal agent fatally shot Minneapolis woman Renee Good under similar circumstances.

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by CBP/ICE.

Agent Charles Exum shot her five times. She miraculously survived.

DHS accused her of being a domestic terrorist.

She went to court to get the body cam footage released.

It shows Agent Charles Exum driving with his gun drawn.

Saying “do something b*tch”.

Ramming her car.

Shooting her.

Hours after the shooting, Greg Bovino emailed the agent and offered to delay his retirement in light of his excellent service.

The email said “you have much left to do”.

Other agents praised the shooting.

Said they should celebrate.

Exum bragged… “5 shots, 7 holes”

Ms Martinez showed incredible courage by fighting to ensure this footage was released to the public.

Everyone should watch it. Make sure the world sees this.

She’s standing up for Silverio Gonzalez.

For Keith Porter.

For Renee Nicole Good.

For Alex Pretti.

For everyone murdered by this regime.

She’s exposing ICE/CBP for who & what they are.

Thank you Marimar.

"Newly released body camera footage further undermines the Trump administration’s efforts to falsely portray Marimar Martinez—who was shot multiple times by Border Patrol agent Charles Exum in October—as a “domestic terrorist.” Federal prosecutors shared three videos on Tuesday evening after a federal judge ruled last week that the footage and other evidence could be made public."

DHS shot her and called her a “terrorist.” New videos show something different.

"It’s time to get aggressive," a Border Patrol agent said shortly before Marimar Martinez was shot five times.
