Overview

• Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz were charged with forcibly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with federal officers after authorities say their vehicles struck and boxed in a CBP SUV in southwest Chicago.
• The FBI announced the arrests on Sunday, and a criminal complaint describes a convoy pursuing the CBP vehicle through traffic before the collisions.
• According to the complaint, a Border Patrol agent fired five shots at Martinez’s car after the CBP vehicle was struck and stopped; Martinez was treated for gunshot wounds and Ruiz remains in custody.
• DHS separately identified two suspects in other Chicago‑area incidents — Miguel Escareno De Loera in Norridge and Widman Osberto Lopez‑Funes in Bensenville — saying both now face federal assault charges.
• Reporting highlights discrepancies between DHS statements and the complaint, including a DHS claim that a woman was armed and that agents were boxed in by 10 cars, details not included in the filing, as DHS officials also cite a sharp rise in assaults and deploy additional resources.
