Federal Judge Frees Pair Charged in Border-agent Ambush

By R. Cort Kirkwood

A federal magistrate judge has released Marimar Martinez, the woman charged with assaulting Border Patrol agents after she rammed their vehicle and attempted to run down one of the agents.

Judge Heather K. McShain of the Northern District of Illinois did so because Martinez had no criminal record before the crime federal prosecutors allege she committed.

Martinez, 30, and accomplice Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21, face charges in connection with following the agents, then boxing them in, then ramming their vehicle, which was providing security for a convoy of other agents.

McShain also released Ruiz.
