Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife says she fears for her safety since the Trump administration deported him to a prison in El Salvador.

The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration, was forced to move to a safe house with her children, after the government posted their home address to social media.

White House officials have spent weeks trying to justify their deportation of Abrego Garcia, even after admitting in court that sending him to El Salvador was an “administrative error,” claiming with no evidence that he is a violent criminal and gang member.

At one point, the Department of Homeland Security posted online an order of protection that Jennifer Vasquez Sura had sought, but later abandoned, against her husband. That order contained Vasquez Sura’s home address, unredacted.

      Ummm, no, he is not a citizen. He was here under a legal protected status because a judge recognized that he was in danger if he returned to El Salvador.

      Garcia is still a citizen of El Salvador.

      He shouldn’t have been deported without due process, but marriage to a citizen does not automatically grant citizenship.

        I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. You are 100% right. Abrego Garcia is an El Salvadorian national who is here under a legally protected status and who is married to a citizen.

        He shouldn’t have been deported without due process, but he also isn’t a US citizen.
