Court Records: MS-13 Associate’s Ex-Husband Feared for Children’s Safety, Warned of Gang Ties Years Before Deportation by yourNEWS Media Newsroom | Apr 30, 2025 Documents show domestic violence, custody concerns, and judicial rulings long before García’s 2025 removal from U.S.... View MoreCourt Records: MS-13 Associate’s Ex-Husband Feared for Children’s Safety, Warned of Gang Ties Years Before Deportation by yourNEWS Media Newsroom | Apr 30, 2025 Documents show domestic violence, custody concerns, and judicial rulings long before García’s 2025 removal from U.S. Newly surfaced court records reveal that the ex-husband of a Maryland woman—now married to deported Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego García—warned authorities as early as 2018 that his children were in danger due to her relationship with a gang-affiliated individual. According to a https://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/cus... by Fox 45 News, Edwin Trejo Ramos filed an emergency custody petition in Prince George’s County Circuit Court in 2018, citing erratic behavior by his ex-wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, including a suicide attempt and leaving their children under the care of an 11-year-old. “She is dating a gang member,” Ramos warned in the petition, which was ultimately dismissed on jurisdictional grounds in early 2019, according to https://nypost.com/2025/04/29/us-.... While the petition did not name Kilmar Abrego García directly, the timeline of Sura’s relationship with the Salvadoran national—whom she married in 2019 while he was detained—strongly points to him as the individual in question. The couple began living together in 2018, and Sura gave birth to their son later in 2019, after a glass-partition wedding held in an immigration detention facility, according to https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/k.... Despite multiple warnings and a 2021 https://www.thechesapeaketoday.com/2025/04/07/mar... filed by Sura herself citing domestic violence, Democratic lawmakers have continued to lobby for García’s return to the United States. Sura’s protective order was finalized on June 17, 2021, by then-Prince George’s County District Court Judge LaKeecia Allen, who was later appointed to the Circuit Court in 2024 by Governor Wes Moore. García was deported on March 15, 2025, after a 2019 immigration ruling determined he was affiliated with the violent MS-13 gang, based on testimony from a confidential informant. The judge in that case denied García’s asylum request for failure to apply within one year of his arrival but granted him “withholding of removal,” a form of protection allowing him to remain in the U.S. temporarily due to fear of persecution by a rival gang if returned to El Salvador. However, García’s legal status was invalidated following the 2025 U.S. designation of MS-13 as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. That classification made him ineligible for protection under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which bars individuals from receiving withholding of removal if they are deemed a threat to national security or have committed serious nonpolitical crimes. As the INA outlines, such individuals are https://resources.humanrightsfirst.org/wp-content/upl... from remaining in the country. While advocates argue that García was never criminally charged, U.S. immigration law allows for deportation based on confirmed gang affiliation—particularly when that group is defined as a terrorist entity. His deportation was not contingent on a criminal conviction but rather on a formal determination of threat level and eligibility criteria under federal immigration statutes. Public attention remains focused on the case, especially as elected officials continue to champion García’s return despite the documented warnings, protective orders, and now legally upheld national security concerns. https://yournews.com/2025/04/30/3409750/court-records-ms-13-associates-ex-husband-feared-for-childrens-safety-warned/
