Well, this isn't surprising. Two people arrested for ramming ICE vehicles with their cars on October 4 in Chicago have been set free after a detention hearing on Tuesday, as the judge thought neither posed a flight risk. The prosecutor did, however, call their actions "extremely dangerous and extremely reckless." But no big deal, we guess.
We noticed that nowhere in this local news coverage does it mention that "vehicle-ramming suspect" Marimar Martinez had a (legal) loaded semiautomatic rifle with her. We wonder how she and Anthony Ruiz will spend their time until their next court date.

Reckless? It was a premeditated attack. It wasn’t a bunch of kids out on a Friday night, drinking down by the lake and doing stupid stuff.

Asinine. They should have been remanded.

Not exactly FAFO is it?

No deterrent at all. Recipe for escalation.
I guess they were just out for a Sunday drive. They should be in Federal custody, as they have hospital staff available for her.

Wrong place, wrong time doesn't add up to the videos that are readily available on the internet, that is for sure.
Let them burn
She was able to make it to the hearing despite her wounds.
Judge who?

If you're a resident in this district you should familiarize yourself with who's returning these people back into your community.
That's because they are the left's shock troops and we're at war. The left absolutely believes we're at war and is acting as such. The right are morons and think that everything is the same as it was 30 years ago. The right needs to wake up.

Wow! Unbelievable! And so many said this was federal so they would not get out of jail! 🤫

She put them back on the battlefield.

Same tactic as 2020.
What a ridiculous thing to do! They are a flight risk as well as likely to reoffend! They should be held without bail!

Why weren’t they charged in federal court?

Guess the judges are waiting for a truly lethal encounter.

This was a targeted, terrorist attack against federal agents. But as someone above said, the judge decided to let the "shock troops" free to go back to what they were doing — trying to kill ICE agents.
