The Department of Justice has filed federal charges against two individuals accused of attacking U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during a protest in Chicago. The incident occurred on Saturday when anti-ICE demonstrators allegedly used vehicles to block and confront federal law enforcement officers.

According to court documents, Marimar Martinez, 30, and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21, were part of a civilian convoy that pursued ICE agents conducting a security detail for a Customs and Border Protection operation. The complaint states that the individuals drove “aggressively and erratically,” disobeyed traffic signals, and traveled the wrong way on one-way streets to pursue the agents’ vehicles.

At one point, Martinez’s vehicle sideswiped an agent’s car, while Ruiz’s vehicle struck the rear of the same vehicle. ICE agents then exited their vehicle, and Martinez drove toward one of them before being shot in the leg by an agent. Paramedics treated Martinez for gunshot wounds at a hospital, and she was later taken into FBI custody. Ruiz was arrested at a gas station after the incident.

The charges against Martinez and Ruiz include forcibly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with federal law enforcement officers. Each faces potential sentences of up to 20 years in prison and fines of $350,000. A Department of Homeland Security statement confirmed that Martinez was armed with a semi-automatic weapon during the confrontation, though this detail is not explicitly mentioned in the criminal complaint.

In addition to Martinez and Ruiz, six other individuals were arrested during protests near the Broadview ICE facility. They are facing charges including resisting arrest, obstruction, and battery. Local authorities reported clashes between demonstrators and officers during the demonstrations.

The case has drawn attention from critics who argue for stricter penalties against those targeting federal agents. No further details about the victims’ injuries or the broader context of the protests were provided in the released documents.
