Federal agents shoot armed woman, 2 arrested in alleged Brighton Park vehicle ramming, DHS says
Federal agents fired defensive shots after being boxed in by multiple vehicles, including one with a semi-automatic weapon, leading to two arrests and ongoing protests.
- On Saturday, Oct. 4, federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, an armed U.S. citizen, after she and others rammed ICE vehicles near 39th and Kedzie in Brighton Park, Chicago.
- The shooting followed a vehicle ramming where Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz hit and boxed in a Border Patrol vehicle holding three agents, prompting one agent to fire five shots.
- The Chicago Police Department responded to manage public safety and direct traffic but is not involved in investigating the shooting, while the FBI has initiated an investigation amid protests during which federal agents used tear gas and rubber bullets.
- Authorities charged Martinez, 30, and Ruiz, 21, with assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement, and President Trump authorized 300 National Guard troops to protect federal officers amid ongoing immigration raids in Chicago.
- The incident intensified protests in Brighton Park, where residents voiced concern over escalating federal actions, and the scene remained calm after agents left Saturday evening.
