Another protection order arises against Kilmar Ábrego García, defended by Democrats

A 2020 order of protection filed in Maryland against Kilmar Ábrego García, a Salvadoran illegal immigrant and alleged member of the MS-13 gang, reveals new allegations of abuse, according to documents reviewed by Fox News.

Abrego Garcia, 29, was deported to El Salvador during the first 100 days of the Trump Administration and is currently at the Terrorist Confinement Center (CECOT).

However, his case has generated controversy, with some Democrats, such as Senator Chris Van Hollen, claiming he was "wrongly deported."

The petition for protection, filed by Jennifer Vasquez Sura, Ábrego García's wife, details a series of alleged acts of physical and verbal abuse against her, as well as psychological abuse against their children.

The form checks boxes that include kicking, slapping, pushing, psychological injury to a minor, and detention against the will. Among the incidents described, Vasquez Sura recounted an episode on August 3, 2020, when Abrego Garcia took away her phone at 1:00 a.m., tried to take her car, and turned off the stove while she was preparing food for her children.

More violence and threats

She also claimed that he threatened her, citing a recording in which Ábrego García told her ex-mother-in-law that “even if he kills me, no one can do anything to him."

The document mentions other incidents, such as one in November 2019, when Ábrego García allegedly grabbed her by the hair in a car, and another in December 2019, when he dragged her out of the vehicle, leaving her in the street. Vasquez Sura also accused Abrego Garcia of breaking her son's tablet, house doors, a telephone, and a television and damaging walls.

On Aug. 11, 2020, Vasquez Sura filed to vacate the protective order, arguing that she wanted to celebrate her son's birthday as a family and that Abrego Garcia had agreed to continue with therapy or sign the divorce if she did not comply. The original petition included her son and Ábrego García's stepchildren as persons in need of protection.

This is not the first case of accusations against Ábrego García

In 2021, Vasquez Sura filed another domestic violence complaint, alleging that Abrego Garcia punched her repeatedly, scratched her eye, leaving her bleeding, broke her laptop, and ripped off her clothes. According to CBS News, this case was dismissed because Vasquez Sura did not appear in court.

In addition to the domestic abuse allegations, police and court records shared with Fox News indicate that Ábrego García was arrested in October 2019 in Hyattsville, Maryland, where the Prince George's County Police Gang Unit identified him as a member of MS-13.

In another incident, he was stopped by a Tennessee highway patrol officer while driving a van with eight people, without luggage, from Houston to Maryland.

The vehicle belonged to Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes, an illegal immigrant who in 2020 pleaded guilty to human trafficking. The agent suspected a possible human trafficking case but only issued a warning for driving with an expired license.

Abrego Garcia's case has been divisive

In April, the Supreme Court upheld a decision compelling the Trump administration to facilitate Ábrego García's release from custody in El Salvador and handle his case as if he had not been deported.

For its part, the Trump administration agreed to remove administrative hurdles, but Attorney General Pam Bondi clarified that his return is up to Salvadoran authorities. This has provoked criticism from Democrats, some of whom have traveled to El Salvador to advocate for his release, despite mounting evidence against him.
