Elite Chicago Police Unit Now Investigating the Border Patrol Shooting of Marimar Martinez

The shooting of Marimar Martinez by a Border Patrol agent during Operation Midway Blitz is now being investigated by a Chicago Police Department unit staffed with experienced detectives who will look to bring a case to Cook County prosecutors. Any felony charging decision would still rest with Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke, and significant roadblocks to a state prosecution of a federal agent remain.
