‘The fact that they went to the mat for this guy really shows exactly who they are,’ DHS Secretary Noem remarked of Democrats supporting Abrego Garcia.
Allegations of violent and criminal activity against the man they anointed a poster child in the struggle against President Trump’s mass deportations force Democrats rallying around illegal immigrant KIlmar Abrego Garcia into a narrative reckoning.
Evidence of Abrego Garcia beating his wife and captured trafficking immigrants during his time residing illegally in Maryland has surfaced recently. Since then, he has been deported to El Salvador, where numerous Democrats—including Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen—have hurried to see him and criticise what they claim to be a lack of due process given him.
“The fact that they went to the mat for this guy just shows exactly who they are,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Saturday. “That they are people who don’t put America first. They don’t care about our citizens and protecting our communities. So, I’m glad that the onion’s been peeled back and that their true motivations have been revealed, and this is just one of the cases that we’re getting off the streets.”
Media and Democrats had labelled Abrego Garcia as a “Maryland man” and a “family man” who had been unfairly deported back in March and the next weeks.
Declaring that the deportation concerns “the constitutional rights of everyone who resides in the United States of America,” Van Hollen visited last month with Abrego Garcia and promoted his release. Other left-wing legislators, including Representatives Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, Maxine Dexter of Oregon, Maxwell Frost of Florida, and Robert Garcia of California last month, were inspired by Van Hollen’s journey and travelled south as well. Dexter promised once to stay in El Salvador until Abrego Garcia was returned to the United States.
But among a deluge of recently discovered proof against Abrego Garcia, Democrats have gone mostly silent.
Thursday exclusively, Fox News Digital reported on fresh court papers showing Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, requested a protective order against her husband in August of 2020. Accused of verbal and physical abuse against her and mental abuse against her children, the order claimed their shared son and stepchildren needed protection from Abrego Garcia.
According to the protection form, Abrego Garcia purportedly seized Vasquez Sura “by the hair in the car,” “dragged” her “out of car and left [her] in the street.” She said he also “broke” her son’s tablet, “broke doors” in the house, shoved her against a wall, smashed a phone and a TV, and wrecked the spring-time walls.
Also emerged are purportedly Vasquez Sura’s audio recordings requesting the 2020 protection order.
“On Wednesday, he hit me, like around like, three in the morning, he would just wake up and like, hit me,” Vasquez Sura told the court in the tapes, Fox Digital earlier reported.
Vasquez Sura claimed to have cried “help” when she spotted a neighbour walking their dog while trying to flee Abrego Garcia. Abrego Garcia “grabbed me from my hair, then he slapped me,” Vasquez Sura alleged.
Saying her family wanted to celebrate their son’s birthday, Vasquez Sura sought the petition to be revoked; Abrego Garcia “also agreed to continue counselling and if not [he’s] willing to sign divorce papers.”
The second openly known order issued against Abrego Garcia is the 2020 protective one. In 2021, Vasquez Sura separately asked for protection against her husband that he had been assaulting her often.
“I am terrified to be near him at this point. She told a Prince George’s County, Maryland, court, Fox Digital previously reported, “I have multiple photos and videos of how violent he can be and all the bruises he [has] left me.”
She said of the claimed assaults, “In November 2020, he hit me with his work boot.” “He smashed me in the eye in August 2020 leaving a purple eye.”
His wife, however, has since publicly defended him and addressed the domestic violence allegations following the revelation of the first protective order request.
“After experiencing domestic violence in a prior relationship, I acted out of prudence during a conflict with Kilmar by requesting a civil protective order, in case things escalated. Things stayed the same, and I chose not to proceed with the civil court procedure. Last month’s statement read, “We were able to work through the situation privately as a family, including by going to counselling.”
Conservatives and the Trump government have come out in full force denouncing Democrats for backing an illegal immigrant accused of gang affiliations, human trafficking and domestic violence. In his second presidency, Trump labelled violent gangs such Tre de Aragua and MS-13 as terrorist organisations.
“I think it’s bizarre that you see these Democrat politicians making a pilgrimage down there … to sit there with this guy, because I never have seen those Democrat politicians meet with angel moms who’ve lost kids because of illegal alien crime,” Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Fox News last week.
