Chicago Woman in Car Ramming Incident Faces Federal Charges
10th October 2025
A Chicago woman who was shot multiple times by federal immigration agents was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of impeding a federal officer with a deadly weapon.
Prosecutors alleged Marimar Martinez, 30, rammed the vehicle of federal agents with her own vehicle before they shot her, which they said was an act of self-defense and that she was armed.
Martinez’s attorney, Christopher Parente, said footage from one of the agent’s bodycams contradicted that account, and Martinez will plead not guilty at an arraignment scheduled for next week.
