Kilmar Abrego Garcia's 'brazen threat' to wife uncovered as the 'Maryland migrant' faces smuggling trial that could land him behind bars for life

The Salvadoran man who has become the face of President Trump's mission to deport migrants, claimed he could kill his wife and get away with it, according to court records.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia – who on Friday pled not guilty to two human smuggling charges in Tennessee that could land him in prison for life – made the threat during one of many alleged domestic violence incidents, the papers claim.

His wife Jennifer Vasquez laid out the allegations in a 2020 handwritten statement to police.

'He kicked me… slapped me in the face. Threaten me. I also have a recorded (sic) that he told my ex-mother-in-law that even he kills me no one can do anything to him,' she claimed.

Abrego Garcia, 29, is now back in the United States after being deported back to his native land, where he was held for a while in a notorious ultra hell-hole prison.

Vasquez, also 29, led demands for him to be brought back. She has been his most vocal champion, defending his character at press conferences and sharing carefully curated videos on social media showing him as a doting husband and devoted father.

But DailyMail.com can reveal that court documents we have exclusively reviewed reveal a far darker story.

Vasquez shockingly filed for protective orders against the so-called 'Maryland  Migrant' not once, but twice, detailing his alleged violent behavior.

Judge will order Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release before trial, but ICE plans to detain him

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A federal judge in Tennessee plans to order the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose mistaken deportation to El Salvador has become a flashpoint in President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, while he awaits a federal trial on human smuggling charges.

But Abrego Garcia is not expected to go free because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will likely take him into custody and possibly try to deport him.

In a ruling on Sunday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes denied the U.S. government’s motion to keep Abrego Garcia in detention before his trial. She scheduled a hearing for Wednesday to discuss the conditions of his release.

The U.S. government has already filed a motion to appeal the judge’s decision and is asking the judge to stay her impending release order.

Abrego Garcia pleaded not guilty on June 13 to smuggling charges that his attorneys have characterized as an attempt to justify his mistaken deportation in March to a notorious prison in El Salvador after the fact. That hearing was the first chance the Maryland construction worker had in a U.S. courtroom to answer the Trump administration’s allegations.

The smuggling charges stem from a 2022 traffic stop for speeding in Tennessee during which Abrego Garcia was driving a vehicle with nine passengers. Although officers suspected possible smuggling, he was allowed to go on his way with only a warning.
