Prosecutors move to dismiss charges
CHICAGO (AP) — Federal prosecutors have moved to dismiss charges they brought against a woman shot by a Border Patrol agent last month amid a federal immigration crackdown in the Chicago area. Hours before a Thursday status hearing in the case, prosecutors moved to dismiss the charges against 30-year-old Marimar Martinez and 21-year-old Anthony Ruiz, marking a dramatic reversal in one of the most closely watched cases tied to the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz.” It’s the latest of several cases tied to the operation that have fallen apart in recent weeks.
