(Discern Report)—Immigration officials in Chicago have arrested a Mexican illegal immigrant accused of decapitating a missing Illinois woman and hiding her body in a storage container full of bleach.
Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, 52, from Waukegan, Illinois, was first arrested in April and charged with concealing a corpse, abusing a corpse, and obstruction of justice, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Right after his initial court hearing, Lake County Judge Randie Bruno set Mendoza-Gonzalez free from custody—a decision that reeks of the soft-on-crime policies pushed in sanctuary havens like Illinois.
He was finally picked up again on Saturday afternoon at a Chicago market by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. He’s now in ICE custody, where he belongs, according to DHS.
This nightmare started in April when police in Waukegan, Illinois, discovered the body of 37-year-old Megan Bos, who had been reported missing on March 9. Her remains were found in a container in Mendoza-Gonzalez’s yard. Family members say she vanished back in February.
Mendoza-Gonzalez is accused of stashing Bos’s body in his yard for almost two months and mistreating her corpse in a truly gruesome way.
DHS officials revealed to Fox News that Bos’s body had been decapitated and placed in a bleach-filled storage container.
“It is absolutely repulsive this monster walked free on Illinois’ streets after allegedly committing such a heinous crime,” a DHS spokesperson told Fox News. “Megan Bos and her family will have justice.”
After Mendoza-Gonzalez was released in April, Antioch Mayor Scott Gartner slammed the laws that let this suspected criminal alien roam free, as reported by Fox 32 Chicago.
“I was shocked to find out literally the next day that the person that they had arrested for this had been released from prison under the SAFE-T Act less than, detained less, I think, than 48 hours,” Gartner said. “There’s other extenuating circumstances in this case. Not only the type of crime, how long the crime was concealed, the fact that the person that was arrested for this is not a U.S. citizen, and, you know, can maybe [flee] the country.”
Mendoza-Gonzalez reportedly told authorities that Bos overdosed at his house. Instead of calling 911 like any responsible person would, he broke her phone and kept her body in the basement for two days before moving it outside.
Republican state Rep. Tom Weber voiced serious worries about Mendoza-Gonzalez’s release back in April.
“Someone that hid their body in a garbage can for 51 days after leaving it in the basement for two days, after not calling 911 [and] breaking a phone. Is this a non-detainable offense?” Weber said. “Should we not find out, wait for a toxicology report, anything?”
This tragic story is yet another example of how sanctuary cities and laws like Illinois’s SAFE-T Act put American lives at risk by protecting illegal immigrants over public safety. When judges release dangerous criminals who aren’t even supposed to be in the country, innocent people like Megan Bos pay the ultimate price. It’s time to end these reckless policies and secure our borders to prevent more senseless violence.
