The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago last fall, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share evidence that shows how the feds respond when “their agents use deadly force against U.S. citizens.”

Marimar Martinez’s lawyer argued Monday that top Trump administration officials continue to smear her name, and that the White House’s false narrative about her arrest has even seeped into writings by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.

All the while, a standard court order bars Martinez from sharing records in her case, such as body-camera footage and electronic communications. Designed to protect against the improper disclosure of evidence, attorney Chris Parente said the order has instead become “a prophylactic to countering a pernicious misinformation campaign mounted by the United States.”
