Federal prosecutors originally accused her and Anthony Santos of using their vehicles to strike agents who were doing immigration enforcement near 39th Street and Kedzie Avenue.

Those charges were eventually dismissed.

Martinez seeks to release more evidence to combat what her lawyers said is harm to her reputation.

Ahead of the hearing, Martinez was in Washington DC Tuesday testifying on Capitol Hill about her ordeal.

"I know that being a survivor, it's my duty to be here today to let you elected officials know what is happening on the streets of our country because silence is no longer an option," Martinez said.

She said what happened to her should serve as evidence of a pattern of lies told by the federal government.

"That's why we made it clear that this negotiation to change the standards for ICE is critical for us to continue this agency," Senator Dick Durbin said.
