About two weeks ago, FOX 5 learned that Jennifer Vasquez, the wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia filed a protective order against him in May 2021. She accused her husband of punching and scratching her.
That court order was later dropped after she said, "I acted out of caution after a disagreement with Kilmar by seeking a civil protective order in case things escalated — things did not escalate."
But in new documents obtained by FOX News, we’re finding out that was not the first time she sought a protective order against her husband.
The backstory:
In August 2020, Vasquez accused Abrego Garcia of physically abusing and threatening to kill her, adding that police were called to the house.
In the document, she says Garcia locked their three kids in the room during a disagreement followed by a 911 call. When officers arrived, she told them that her husband had acted violently and broke her phone in front of them.
She also said that she had a recording of her husband saying if he kills her "no one can do anything to him."
