#Trump told reporters yesterday he would consider utilizing the #InsurrectionAct, a law enacted >200 ago, to sidestep any #court rulings restricting his orders to send #NationalGuard #troops into cities over the objections of local & state officials.

#Chicago #Police & paramedics showed up a few minutes later, he said. As paramedics placed tourniquets on Martinez’s leg & arm, a bullet fell out of her arm & onto the shop’s floor, the manager said. She left in an ambulance. #FBI investigators then arrived & placed red tape around the area where Martinez had sat & around her car, the manager said.
They processed the scene for half an hour, then the shop workers cleaned up the blood, he said.
A trucker at the shop called 911 as workers frantically grabbed blue shop towels & patches to place on her wounds, the manager said. The shop manager called 911 & said, “Send somebody quick because this lady is bleeding profusely. ... I mean, it was instant puddles.”

After the shooting, Martinez drove herself to Big Rig Oil Pros at 35th St & California Ave, parked her bullet-riddled Nissan SUV in the parking lot & walked inside, the shop manager told the Sun-Times Monday.
Employees led a bleeding Martinez to a chair in the shop’s office, said the manager, who asked not to be named.

Martinez is a #US #citizen, works for a school & had several supportive letters about her character filed with the court, Parente said. Ruiz is also a US citizen & self-employed as a deejay, his attorney, Ben Horowitz, said.
The shooting on Saturday led to a heated confrontation between federal agents & nearly 100 #protesters. It was one of several protests that have flared up since the #Trump admin kicked off “Operation Midway Blitz” last month.
Parente said Martinez has “seven holes” in her from the #shooting & that agents were in such a hurry to take her into custody at the hospital that they had to return later when Martinez began bleeding from her wounds.
Parente disputed the govt’s claim that Martinez is a danger to the community & should be detained, saying instead that the officer who shot her was a threat.
“I think there’s a danger to the community, but I don’t think it’s Ms. Martinez,” he said.
Martinez’s attorney, Parente, offered to play an agent’s body-camera video that shows the #shooting, noting that prosecutors did not show the video that he claimed disputes the government’s version of the shooting.
Parente said the video shows an agent turn a federal vehicle left into Martinez’s vehicle, after which an agent says, “Do something bitch.” The agent then exits the vehicle & shoots at Martinez.

The judge said it “is a miracle to me that no one was more seriously injured” in the incident in which Martinez & Ruiz allegedly followed agents for more than 20 mins as they drove after conducting an operation in Oak Lawn. But she said the defendants’ lack of criminal history & extensive family & community ties compelled her to release them pending trial.

U.S. District Judge Heather McShain denied a request by the federal government to detain Martinez & Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21, pending trial. Martinez & Ruiz, who wore orange jumpsuits for the detention hearing, were charged Sunday with felony assault of a federal officer.

Attorney for woman shot by #BorderPatrol claims officer said 'Do something bitch' before shooting
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez & a co-defendant released pending trial.

“I told him to get himself situated & then I started hearing boom, boom, boom, & he yelled, ‘Mom, they’re shooting,’” she said.
Ms. Ruiz said she raced to the scene & saw her son being arrested shortly after. On Sunday, she said he was still in custody.
Christopher Parente, a lawyer for Ms. Martinez, said he was gathering information about what had happened & was working to gain Ms. Martinez’s release.

It also differs from an account given to NYT by Ruiz’s mother, Elizabeth Ruiz. She said her son called her immediately after the confrontation & told her that federal agents were being chased & rammed by other cars, not his, & that the agents had struck him.
“‘Mom, they hit me, they hit me,’” she said he told her. “‘I said, ‘What do you mean?’ And he said ‘ICE.’”

They pursued the agents’ cars, running red lights & stop signs as they did so, & eventually crossed the city line into #Chicago, the complaint said.
During the chase, the complaint said, Martinez “regularly & loudly” referred to the agents as “la migra,” the Spanish term for #immigration authorities.
Martinez & Ruiz then drove into one of the federal agents’ cars, causing the agent to lose control of the vehicle, the complaint said.
She was charged along with another motorist, Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21.
The criminal complaint makes no mention of any #firearm in the possession of either motorist, in direct contrast to an earlier statement from #DHS.
Acc/to the criminal complaint, 3 #BorderPatrol agents who were conducting an operation in Oak Lawn, IL, were followed by Martinez & Ruiz..

Update on the #CBP #shooting of a #Chicago woman:
2 Chicago residents have been charged with using their cars to “assault, impede, & interfere with the work of federal agents,” federal prosecutors said.
The charges stemmed from a confrontation Saturday morning between federal agents & motorists on the Southwest Side of Chicago that resulted in a federal agent shooting one of the motorists, Marimar Martinez, 30.

#JBPritzker also said he wanted to know
more about an episode in #Chicago Saturday when a federal agent shot & wounded a motorist who, acc/to federal ofcls, had rammed & boxed-in a law enforcement vehicle.
“It’s really hard to know exactly what the facts are, & they won’t let us access the facts,” he said. “They are just putting out their #propaganda. And then we’ve got to later determine what actually happened.”
#Trump #law #FreedomOfAssembly #RightToProtest #tyranny #ICE #CBP #Gestapo
#JBPritzker suggested that the #Trump admin, which planned to send 300 #NationalGuard troops to #Chicago, is intentionally heightening tensions. The administration wants to “create the war zone so they can send in even more troops,” he said.

Federal agents were “just picking up people who are #brown & #Black & then checking their credentials,” #JBPritzker said. He added: “They are the ones that are making it a war zone. They need to get out of #Chicago if they’re not going to focus on the ‘worst of the worst’, which is what the president said they were going to do.”
