Marimar Martinez, a U.S. citizen, was shot by Border Patrol Agent Charles Exum during an immigration operation in Chicago in October 2025, sustaining seven wounds from five shots fired. Exum later bragged about the shooting in a work group chat, stating "I fired 5 shots and she had 7 holes." Federal prosecutors initially charged Martinez with assaulting federal agents but dismissed the charges after Exum's text messages became public. The government had labeled Martinez a "domestic terrorist," but the agent's own testimony acknowledged the collision was merely a side swipe, not a ramming attack. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by a Border Patrol agent in Chicago. She has filed a tort claim against the federal government seeking damages.
