The name Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been in the news steadily since his abduction by the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the United States Supreme Court unanimously ordering he be returned to his family in Maryland.
But much less has been said or written about Abrego Garcia's American-born wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura. The pair have been married since 2019 and share a child.
However the lack of media attention focused solely on Sura didn't make a difference in keeping the Virginia native and her three children safe.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Sura revealed she had to move to a safe house after actions taken by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
She stated:
"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."
"So, this is definitely a bit terrifying. I’m scared for my kids."
DHS decided to post a court document—that Sura once filed, but later abandoned—visible to their 2.4 million followers on X.
DHS captioned the document image with:
"Kilmar Abrego Garcia had a history of violence and was not the upstanding ‘Maryland Man’ the media has portrayed him as."
"According to court filings, Garcia’s wife sought a domestic violence restraining order against him, claiming he punched, scratched, and ripped off her shirt, among other harm."
The document DHS shared on social media had Sura's address clearly visible. As a result, Sura moved her family into a safe house.
People were once again appalled at actions taken by Kristi Noem's DHS and ICE.

In her WaPo interview, Sura stated:
"Look, Kilmar is not perfect—nobody is. Day by day, you grow."⁹
"Every day, you learn. And he was trying his best for me, for our kids, for our future."
The Trump administration has so far ignored the SCOTUS ruling to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home.
