Wife of Maryland’s Garcia taken to safe house after DHS publishes her address.
The wife of
Kilmar Abrego Garcia
, the wrongly
deported Maryland man
— which the Donald Trump administration denied and asserted he was an
MS-13 gang member
and thus rightfully deported — claimed she had to move to a safe house after the Department of Homeland Security posted her address online.
Jennifer Vasquez Sura
told The Washington Post that after DHS shared on X an unredacted court document from 2021, she began fearing for her safety and the well-being of her three children. “I don’t feel safe when the government posts my address, the house where my family lives, for everyone to see, especially when this case has gone viral and people have all sorts of opinions.”
The DHS said it did not publish any secret documents and anyone could have accessed those documents as they were already in the public.
The deportation of Garcia became a major controversy after a judge ordered to bring him back from El Salvador after the administration in the court said there was a technical error in sending Garcia to Salvador. Despite the court order, the Trump administration doubled down that Garcia would never be allowed back into US as he is a member of MS-13.
The Trump administration said they would bring him back if the Salvador government agrees to release him which President Nayib Bukele rejected calling it ‘preposturous’.
Judge halts order for details on any efforts to return Garcia to US
In the latest development in this case, A federal judge temporarily halted her order requiring the Trump administration to provide information on its efforts so far, if any, to retrieve a man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
The seven-day pause ordered by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis on Wednesday came with the agreement of lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Xinis said, and is the first sign of a possible change, either in tone or position, in the contentious legal fight that already has been to the Supreme Court and led the judge to accuse administration lawyers of acting in “bad faith.”
