\nThe federal government charged Marimar with ramming border patrol agents.<\/p>\n
Those charges were later dropped. Marimar was one of many, calling the administration’s narratives into question on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Martinez followed the agents for several blocks before the vehicles collided, resulting in minor dents and scrapes on both vehicles.<\/p>\n
According to testimony and documents from Martinez’s now-dropped assault case, she stopped her vehicle directly after the collision and the agents’ SUV came to a halt just ahead of Martinez. She then accelerated away, testifying in court that she swerved left to avoid hitting the agents, who were exiting their vehicle.<\/p>\n
That’s when the agents opened fire, ultimately striking Martinez five times in the arm, chest and both legs. Only one of the three agents had a body camera activated at the time.<\/p>\n
While the body camera footage hasn’t been released publicly, lawyers for Martinez have said in court that it shows an officer shouting “do something b–.”<\/p>\n
The agent who shot her allegedly said in a group text to friends: “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys.””<\/p>\n
