Marimar Martinez Files Lawsuit Against Federal Government Over Shooting Incident

Marimar Martinez filed a lawsuit against the federal government, claiming CBP agent Charles Exum lied about the shooting incident during an immigration operation in Chicago.
Her lawsuit includes expert analysis indicating Exum fired from behind her vehicle, contradicting his statements to the FBI that she was driving towards him.
Federal prosecutors previously dismissed charges against Martinez, reversing their initial accusations that she had attacked Exum's vehicle.
CBP has placed Exum on administrative leave while the incident is investigated.
