An Angel Mom whose daughter she says was brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant slammed sanctuary policies, arguing they have hindered her family’s pursuit of justice.
Jennifer Bos’ daughter, Megan, was found dead in April 2025 after an illegal immigrant stuffed her body into a trash can and doused her in bleach in a Chicago suburb. Mexican national Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, 52, was charged with abuse of a corpse, two counts of concealing the death of a person, and obstructing justice.
Local authorities released Mendoza-Gonzalez, 52, after a court appearance. He was later nabbed by ICE.
Bos shared her daughter’s story during an ICE press conference on Thursday for its Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement office (VOICE), which she credited for assisting her family in the aftermath of Megan’s death.
“The tragedies like mine and the other families that are here could have been prevented and that knowledge creates an agony for us like no other. For me, it was further compounded when I had to fight bureaucracy and ideological sanctuary policies trying to get him detained to await trial,” Bos said.
Listen to the words of angel mother Jennifer Bos, who slams sanctuary officials in Illinois and the Biden admin, which closed the office for victim of illegal immigrant crime.

Bos went on to explain that she “made enough noise” about her daughter’s case to get “the attention” of the Trump administration.
“And after three months walking free, ICE came and took him into custody,” she said. “I had no idea what was going to happen at that point, but I was incredibly relieved that he was off the street. And at the time, I didn’t know anything about the VOICE office. President Trump has so passionately tried to honor and support angel families. He created the VOICE office in his first term.”
The grieving mother also criticized the Biden administration for shutting down the VOICE office, which was repurposed as a tip line for illegal immigrants to report abuse in ICE detention centers. Trump, who established the office in his first term, reopened it in his second term.
“The Biden administration didn’t have any use for it, so they shut it down and it had just been reopened when I received the call telling me they were here to help us,” Bos said.
“They would tell us how to track Megan’s perpetrator while he was in custody and they offered to connect us to local support services. They were there to listen to our needs and they would help us any way that they could,” she said.
