"On Saturday, federal agents shot Marimar “La Maggie” Martinez five to seven times in Brighton Park. Yesterday, she walked out of the hospital—bandaged, limping, but alive—flanked by her lawyer, Christopher Parente, and a crowd chanting her name.
That image—a Latina activist standing upright after federal bullets tore through her car and body—belongs to a long ledger of American overreach. CBP called it an “ambush.” Her community calls it what it looks like: an execution that failed.
The government’s story crumbles on contact. Prosecutors claim Martinez rammed a Border Patrol SUV and charged an agent. But Parente told a federal judge he has the body-cam footage, and it shows the opposite: a CBP agent taunting her—“Do something, bitch”—before steering his unmarked vehicle into hers and opening fire. Seven bullets later, Martinez drove herself a mile to a repair shop for help.
That footage exists. It’s time we all see it."
