"My own government attempted to execute me," said Marimar Martinez this week in testimony to Congress, after she was shot by Border Patrol.
Martinez once appeared at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse as a criminal defendant. Now cleared of wrongdoing, the U.S. citizen told Democratic Senators and House members in Washington, D.C., about her shooting by Border Patrol and her failed prosecution.
Marimar Martinez was shot five times during Operation Midway Blitz.
