Jennifer Vasquez Sura — the wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man wrongfully deported to El Salvador —
filed a protective order against her husband alleging he committed domestic violence.
Context
Jennifer Vasquez Sura sought a temporary civil protective order against Kilmar Abrego Garcia in
2021 for alleged abuse, but she did not show up to a court hearing, which stopped the matter from proceeding. In an April 2025 statement, she said she "acted out of caution after a disagreement" due to her previous experience surviving domestic violence, that Abrego Garcia has "always been a loving partner and father" and that the pair went to counseling.
Amid public backlash in April 2025 for the wrongful deportation of Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
publicized what appeared to be a temporary protective order filed against him by his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura.
"Kilmar Abrego Garcia had a history of violence and was not the upstanding 'Maryland Man' the media has portrayed him as," DHS claimed in an April 16, 2025,
X post. "According to court filings, Garcia's wife sought a domestic violence restraining order against him, claiming he punched, scratched, and ripped off her shirt, among other harm."
While Jennifer Sura Vasquez sought a temporary protective order for alleged physical assault, she said her family resolved the issue privately.
