The wife of a wrongly deported Salvadoran father living in Maryland was moved to a safe house after Donald Trump’s administration posted a court document that included her address on social media.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife Jennifer Vasquez Sura said she began fearing for her safety and the safety of her three children after the Department of Homeland Security shared a protective order from 2021 that prominently featured her address to the department’s 2.4 million followers on X.

“I don’t feel safe when the government posts my address, the house where my family lives, for everyone to see, especially when this case has gone viral and people have all sorts of opinions,” she told The Washington Post. “So, this is definitely a bit terrifying. I’m scared for my kids.”

    The only reason I’m not attributing this to malice is because incompetence is certain.

      No this is certainly malice. She’s being punished for fighting back against the obviously illegal shit the government is doing. They’re trying to make an example out of the family.

        It’s likely malice. But the truth is it doesn’t matter. Because it happened. There are a lot of people who are very close to not being able to get off the MAGA wagon anymore before shit really hits the fan.

        Trump destroys everything he touches. This is going to go very badly for a lot of people

      That’s the problem with “conservatives”. You can never be 100% sure whether they are evil och just stupid. That uncertainly acts like protection for them.
