'My own government attempted to execute me,' Chicago woman shot by Border Patrol testifies

Marimar Martinez detailed her encounter with Border Patrol agents on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, saying her living testimony is evidence of a pattern of lies told by the federal government.

"Evidence from these operations, including statements made under oath, reveals a pattern of misleading the public," Martinez said.

Martinez said she believes that she survived her encounter with Border Patrol agents so she could share her story.

"I struggle with the memories of the day, the initial swerving into me by Agent Exum, the shots ringing out and the burning sensation as the bullets ripped through my skin and body," Martinez said.
