Donald Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump, has been granted court-ordered protection from an alleged stalker after claiming the man was trying to get close to her before she heads off to college, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the 19-year-old daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump filed for a restraining order against a 26-year-old man named Gabriel Garza Jr. in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Court Grants Protection Order
The 19-year-old said the man was trying to get close to her before she heads to college.
A judge initially granted Kai a temporary restraining order in April, prohibiting Garza from stalking, cyberstalking, or committing any criminal act that could result in physical harm or death.
Under the order, Garza is not allowed to come within 500 feet of Kai's home or workplace. He is also barred from attending any events she attends.
Kai recently announced she plans to attend the University of Miami in the fall, meaning Garza must also stay away from the campus.
The restraining order was later extended until May 2027 after a court hearing earlier this month.
Kai Described Alleged Stalker as 'Homeless'
Kai recently announced she will attend the University of Miami in the fall.
In her filing, Kai reportedly described Garza as "homeless" and claimed he "lives in a car in [the] area of Jupiter/Palm Beach County."
A hearing in the case had originally been scheduled for April 30, but Kai requested a postponement because it conflicted with a major milestone in her life.
"My last day of high school. I can't leave until 3:00 pm," she allegedly wrote in a request to the court, asking for the hearing to be moved to the following week.
The hearing was later rescheduled to May 14, when the judge ruled the restraining order would remain active for the next two years.
Firearms Must Be Surrendered
This isn't the first security scare involving Kai.
As part of the court order, Garza was also instructed to surrender any firearms in his possession.
The frightening situation is not the first security scare involving Kai.
Back in 2025, a man named Anthony Reyes was detained after allegedly attempting to trespass at Mar-a-Lago in an effort to "marry Kai."
Authorities said Reyes jumped over a fence at the Florida property before he was apprehended. He was later sentenced to one year of probation.
