Initially, federal prosecutors charged Martinez and Anthony Santos with using their vehicles to assault agents engaged in immigration enforcement activities near 39th Street and Kedzie Avenue.

These allegations were later dropped.

Martinez is pushing for the release of further evidence to counteract what her attorneys describe as damage to her reputation.

In anticipation of the hearing, Martinez traveled to Washington DC, where she shared her experience in testimony before Congress on Tuesday.

“I know that being a survivor, it’s my duty to be here today to let you elected officials know what is happening on the streets of our country because silence is no longer an option,” Martinez said.

She said what happened to her should serve as evidence of a pattern of lies told by the federal government.

Illinois lawmakers joined her call for accountability

“That’s why we made it clear that this negotiation to change the standards for ICE is critical for us to continue this agency,” Senator Dick Durbin said.
