According to federal officials, the incident occurred on Saturday morning near the intersection of 39th Place and S. Kedzie Avenue, in the vicinity of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.
Border Patrol law enforcement officers were ambushed by vehicles that rammed federal agents.
Agents exited a trapped vehicle, and when a suspect tried to run them over, officers shot the woman.
She drove to the hospital and was later arrested after being discharged. She is in FBI custody.
Officials said Martinez was armed with a semi-automatic weapon and has a history of doxxing federal agents.
McLaughlin said that Martinez has been named in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) bulletin for doxxing agents and threatening them.
The armed woman was named in a @CBP intelligence bulletin last week for doxing agents and posting online “Hey to all my gang let’s f**k those mother f**kers up, don’t let them take anyone.”
A video of what was thought to be the encounter was posted on X by Kim Katie USA, but it turned out to be another attack that occurred later that day.
This footage is NOT from the attack in Chicago involving the 10 car caravan blockading our law enforcement, not involving “La Maggie.”
This is from ANOTHER vehicular assault later that day in Chicago where an individual rammed an @ICEGov vehicle.
This violence is rampant, as… https://t.co/j1WHwXDkVH

Authorities said the scene became increasingly violent as more people gathered and began throwing smoke, gas, rocks, and bottles at Department of Homeland Security (DHS) law enforcement.

Officials said another person was arrested at the scene for assaulting CBP.
As ICE law enforcement was responding to the shooting, a separate vehicle followed them and rammed their vehicle in an attempt to run them off the road.
That individual was arrested and is in Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) custody.
An ICE vehicle popped a tire and was subsequently surrounded, forcing law enforcement to abandon the vehicle for their safety.
The vehicle was significantly damaged.
Several CBP law enforcement officers were sent to the hospital with various injuries.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issued a public statement calling for an end to violence against officers.
“These attacks on our brave law enforcement officers must END. Secretary Noem has taken action to deploy additional resources to restore law and order. We will not allow domestic terrorists to attack our law enforcement. If you law a hand on law enforcement, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
McLaughlin reiterated that Martinez had been named in a CBP bulletin and referenced the social media post cited in federal materials.
Officials did not release additional details about the weapon recovered at the scene or the number of shots fired.
No law enforcement officers were seriously injured in this attack, according to federal statements.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker addressed the Chicago-area events during a CNN interview and described federal accounts as political messaging.
He called the ambush “propaganda.” “They are the ones that are making it a war zone,” Pritzker said.

“They need to get out of Chicago if they’re not going to focus on the worst of the worst, which is what the president said they were going to do,” Pritzker said on CNN.

Noem responded in a Fox News interview. “Sanctuary politicians like @JBPritzker have not only turned over their states to violent illegal aliens, they are also actively working against law enforcement in support of lawless anarchists. DHS under President Trump is deploying a whole-of-government approach to restore law and order in America’s cities.”

Commentary about Pritzker’s appearance circulated following the broadcast.
Townhall’s Guy Benson described Pritzker’s interview as “breathtaking.”
His message to criminal illegal immigrants is clear: Stay in Chicago. And continue to attack the federal agents (“jack-booted thugs” as he’s called them) carrying out their sworn duty. It’s actually breathtaking. https://t.co/xTVx91f5tl

Federal authorities said the investigation remains active. Martinez was arrested after receiving medical care and was placed in FBI custody.
Santos Ruiz was apprehended at the scene.
Officials said additional updates would be provided as agencies review video, finalize reports, and coordinate with local law enforcement regarding potential charges.
