Jennifer Vasquez Sura sought a domestic violence restraining order against Kilmar Abrego Garcia in 2021 due to claims of abuse. The Department of Homeland Security stated that Garcia has a history of violence and is not a sympathetic figure.
Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D, traveled to El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcia’s release but was denied access to the prison in the country. Sura later expressed that her relationship with Garcia improved, stating they worked through their issues privately.
