Newly obtained court documents potentially add new information about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man at the center of the immigration debate in the United States.

The Trump administration deported Abrego Garcia to El Salvador in March, despite an immigration judge saying Abrego Garcia should not be deported. Abrego Garcia is now in the Salvadoran supermax prison, CECOT.

Custody filings obtained by FOX45 News show that the man who appears to be the father of Abrego Garcia’s wife’s children filed for an emergency custody hearing in August 2018. The man, Edwin Ramos, claimed the children were in danger because the wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, was “dating a gang member” at the time.

The custody documents do not name the alleged gang member in question. A judge determined the issue was not an emergency in September 2018, and in early 2019, the issue was dismissed for a lack of jurisdiction.

Court documents in Abrego Garcia’s immigration disputes reveal he and Vasquez Sura were married in June 2019, while U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had him in custody.

The Trump administration has said in court documents that deporting Abrego Garcia was a mistake, though top officials have said that, if he does return, Abrego Garcia will be deported again.

The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled the Trump administration needs to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return.

Vasquez Sura and Abrego Garcia’s legal team have argued the man is not affiliated with the gang MS-13, despite the Trump administration doubling down on that claim.

Abrego Garcia was detained following a March 2019 arrest in a Hyattsville Home Depot parking lot. He and three others were there looking for day labor work at the time. Court documents state that police arrested the four men and questioned them about potential gang ties.

Abrego Garcia said he was not affiliated with any gangs and couldn’t provide the police with any details about the gang MS-13.

A Hyattsville City Police Officer reported recognizing one of the men to be an MS-13 member, according to a statement provided by the Prince George’s County Police Department. The department’s Gang Unit assisted with the interviews and completed a Gang Field Interview Sheet.

“The PGPD detectives had reasonable suspicion, based upon their training and experience, three of the four men, including Kilmar Abrego Garcia, displayed traits associated with MS-13 gang culture,” according to the department.

The gang unit, according to the GFIS, said the Chicago Bulls hat and hoodie Abrego Garcia was wearing “represents that they are a member in good standing with MS-13.”

Additionally, a “reliable source of information” said he is a member of the “Westerns” clique of the gang, located in upstate New York, according to the documents. Abrego Garcia and his family say he’s never been to that state.

One of the officers involved with filling out the GFIS, however, was Ivan Mendez. Mendez, according to the police department, was suspended in April 2019 “in connection with an unrelated matter.” He later pleaded guilty to misconduct in office for that undisclosed issue and was fired in December 2022.

Abrego Garcia was not charged but was turned over to ICE.

Documents from the U.S. Department of Justice show ICE officials used that gang unit report to tie Abrego Garcia to MS-13 and to claim he “is not claiming fear of returning to his country” of El Salvador.

At the time, Abrego Garcia was denied bond. His attorneys appealed the decision, claiming there was “no reliable evidence in the record” of MS-13 affiliation. He was later released and checked in with immigration officials.

Documents obtained by FOX45 News reveal Vasquez Sura filed a temporary protective order against Abrego Garcia in 2021, claiming he punched and scratched her, leaving her bleeding. Abrego Garcia later ripped her shorts and shirt.

Vasquez Sura wrote in the temporary order request that Abrego Garcia hit her in August 2020 and left her with “a purple eye.” In November 2020, Vasquez Sura claimed he hit her with his work boot.

“After surviving domestic violence in a previous relationship, I acted out of caution after a disagreement with Kilmar by seeking a civil protective order in case things escalated,” Vasquez Sura said via statement, adding the situation did not escalate.

“We were able to work through this situation privately as a family, including by going to counseling,” her statement said. “Our marriage only grew stronger in the years that followed. No one is perfect, and no marriage is perfect.”

The temporary protective order was later dropped because Vasquez Sura did not follow through with the process.
