(NewsNation) — The wife of the Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador has had to move to a safe house with her children after the Department of Homeland Security posted her home address, according to reports.
MSNBC reported the DHS posted a court document on social media that had Jennifer Vasquez Sura’s address on it.
On Tuesday, Vasquez Sura told The Washington Post, “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.”

DHS officials wrote on X, “Kilmar Abrego Garcia had a history of violence and was not the upstanding ‘Maryland Man’ the media has portrayed him as.” In that post, the family’s home address and other personal information were not redacted.
Officials with DHS told MSNBC that the documents posted on X are accessible to the public.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife filed protective order in 2021
In a statement, Vasquez Sura said her experience with domestic violence in the past, before her relationship with Abrego Garcia, is why she got the protective order. She said it happened after a disagreement with Abrego Garcia and was done “in case things escalated.”
“Things did not escalate, and I decided not to follow through with the civil court process,” she said. “No one is perfect, and no marriage is perfect. That is not a justification for ICE’s action of abducting him and deporting him to a country where he was supposed to be protected from deportation.”
“Look, Kilmar is not perfect — nobody is,” Vasquez Sura told The Washington Post. “Day by day, you grow. Every day, you learn. And he was trying his best for me, for our kids, for our future.”
Trump administration believes Kilmar Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13 gang
The Trump administration has continued to say that Abrego Garcia is part of the MS-13 gang in Long Island, New York. However, there has been no evidence to suggest this, and Abrego Garcia has denied the allegations.
MS-13, also known as Mara Salvatrucha, has been designated as a terrorist organization by the State Department. The gang was created by immigrants from El Salvador in the United States before it gained traction in Central America, officials said.
Trump met with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, who said he wouldn’t be sending Abrego Garcia back to the country. The Trump administration was ordered by the Supreme Court to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return but has yet to do so.
Abrego Garcia’s wife has continued to advocate for him. She told reporters last week, “Enough is enough. My family can’t be robbed from another day without seeing Kilmar. This administration has already taken so much from my children, from Kilmar’s mother, brother, sisters and me.”
