Wife of man mistakenly deported to El Salvador filed for protective order against him in 2021, documents show

The wife of a 29-year-old Maryland man who was mistakenly deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador last month filed a protective order against him back in 2021 over allegations of domestic violence, according to court records obtained by CBS News Wednesday.

Jennifer Vasquez sought and received a temporary protective order against Kilmar Abrego Garcia in May 2021, per court records filed in Prince George's County District Court.

The Department of Homeland Security posted a document Wednesday it said was from the case, which alleged Abrego Garcia "punched and scratched" Vasquez, "ripped off" her shirt, and "grabbed and bruised" her.
