All this is driven home by an interesting new letter that Senator Chris Murphy sent Friday to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem about a horrifying incident that unfolded during Trump’s occupation of Chicago. A federal agent shot a woman multiple times after she allegedly menaced the agents with her car. Marimar Martinez, who didn’t have life-threatening injuries, is a U.S. citizen.
In particular, just after the shooting, DHS put out a statement claiming that the agents in question had been “boxed in by 10 cars,” and that Martinez’s vehicle “rammed” theirs. The statement also suggests she threatened the agents with a “semi-automatic weapon.” All this “forced” an agent to shoot Martinez, who then “drove herself to the hospital.” DHS added that she’d previously doxxed agents online. In short, the shooting was wholly justified: The victim was the one doing the terrorizing—of law enforcement.
Here’s where Loomer enters the chat. Shortly after the incident, she tweeted out pictures of Martinez’s car—complete with bullet holes in the windshield from the agent’s shots—which Loomer claimed she obtained from a “DHS source.” Loomer also echoed the (now undermined) claim that Martinez “drove herself to the hospital.”
“When the government misrepresents or lies about events involving the safety and wellbeing of federal law enforcement, it erodes public trust, making their jobs much harder,” Murphy continues.
Murphy also asks if DHS is internally investigating whether the agent used excessive force, and asks the agency to detail its current use-of-force policies. He presses DHS to “provide details of how Ms. Loomer received these photos” and to indicate “whether DHS is investigating the leak of alleged criminal evidence to Ms. Loomer.”
Now, to be clear, it’s possible that Martinez did commit serious crimes. She has been indicted for attempted murder, though the judge has released her and another man involved from custody for now. It’s possible she will be convicted. A jury should decide the matter.
In this regard, Murphy’s questions about whether DHS is reviewing the incident—and what DHS policy is right now on excessive force—deserve special attention. As I’ve previously detailed, the public is unaware of just how atrophied the mechanisms of accountability have become for DHS agents, at a time when the war they’re waging in U.S. cities—sometimes against Americans—is boiling over daily.
We constantly talk about how the congressional GOP is enabling Trump’s lawlessness, whether it’s his likely illegal impoundment of funds, his military deployments to conduct domestic law enforcement, his extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean Sea, and more. But this GOP abdication is also facilitating the spread of state-sponsored disinformation.
The people are awash in propaganda and lies about what their own government is doing to them, with Congress utterly checked out of the fact-finding business and increasing signs that the free press is retreating in the face of the authoritarian onslaught. It is falling on Democrats to ask the questions that need asking—and even to highlight the unnerving reality underlying all of it, that our government is engaged in such remarkably concerted deception of its own citizens. This Murphy letter is a stab in that direction. But we need a whole lot more. And let’s face it: Time is running out.
