KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA, a deported alleged MS-13 member, is facing further abuse allegations after an audio recording emerged reportedly featuring his wife, JENNIFER VASQUEZ SURA, pleading for a temporary protective order during a 2020 court hearing. The audio, obtained by *USA Today*, details the alleged abuse she endured at the hands of ABREGO GARCIA.
SURA recounted multiple instances of abuse, including being pushed, pulled by her hair, and slapped. She disclosed that ABREGO GARCIA attacked her in the early hours of the morning, leaving her fearful for her safety. “I was trying to escape, and when I saw a neighbor walking their dog, I yelled for help. He grabbed me by my hair and slapped me,” she stated during the hearing. The neighbor reportedly witnessed the incident but was too stunned to intervene.
The filing, obtained by *Fox News Digital*, reveals that SURA attempted to secure a protective order in December 2019 but was allegedly persuaded by ABREGO GARCIA’s family to withdraw the request, citing his father’s illness. She emphasized her fear of proximity to him and provided photos and videos documenting the violence and bruises allegedly inflicted by ABREGO GARCIA.
ABREGO GARCIA, a Salvadoran national, gained notoriety in the immigration debate, often referred to as a “Maryland man” despite residing in the U.S. illegally. He is suspected of being a member of the violent MS-13 gang and is implicated in human trafficking offenses.
**Human Trafficking Allegations**
Bodycam footage from a Tennessee traffic stop in 2022 shows ABREGO GARCIA interacting with authorities. According to a Department of Homeland Security report, he was transporting individuals from Texas to Maryland via Missouri for construction work.
**Political Controversy**
Senator CHRIS VAN HOLLEN (D-Md.) faced criticism for meeting with ABREGO GARCIA in El Salvador, a move denounced by both Republicans and Democrats. Critics highlighted the timing given the abuse allegations.
Meanwhile, PATTY MORIN, the mother of murder victim RACHEL MORIN, condemned SENATOR VAN HOLLEN for engaging with ABREGO GARCIA. RACHEL MORIN was raped and murdered by another illegal immigrant, VICTOR MARTINEZ-HERNANDEZ, in August 2023.
**Legal Developments**
Despite the Trump administration’s evidence linking ABREGO GARCIA to MS-13, the Supreme Court upheld a lower court decision in April 2024, ordering his return to the U.S.
