flag Bodycam footage contradicts initial claims in the 2025 Chicago Border Patrol incident, showing agent Exum's aggressive actions before a crash that left U.S. citizen Martinez wounded and later charged.

flag Bodycam footage from October 4, 2025, shows Border Patrol agent Charles Exum saying “It’s time to get aggressive” before a collision during an immigration operation in Chicago, contradicting initial claims that U.S. citizen Marimar Martinez rammed the agents’ vehicle. flag The video, released by federal prosecutors, captures Exum firing five shots after the crash, with Martinez later charged with impeding a federal officer—charges dropped in November. flag Exum bragged in text messages about hitting Martinez seven times with five shots, and a senior Border Patrol official praised him for “excellent service” and urged him to delay retirement. flag Martinez, who survived multiple gunshot wounds, plans to file a civil lawsuit and seeks removal of a DHS label calling her a “domestic terrorist.” The case has sparked national scrutiny over federal immigration enforcement and accountability.
