Jennifer Bos Backs Todd Blanche for AG After Daughter, 37, Died in Illinois Case

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 16

Jennifer Bos urged the Senate Judiciary Committee to confirm Todd Blanche, saying the acting attorney general listened closely to Angel Families and could help prevent other deaths like her daughter Megan's.
Megan Bos, 37, was found dead in April 2026 after disappearing for 51 days; Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, a Mexican national, faces corpse-abuse, concealment and obstruction charges but denies causing her death.
Illinois sanctuary policies became central to Bos's testimony because Mendoza-Gonzalez was initially released after a hearing before ICE re-arrested him in Indiana in July, deepening her anger at local authorities.
Democrats had spent the prior day attacking Blanche's credibility, but Bos said they had long ignored families harmed by crimes involving undocumented immigrants, though she said Senator Dick Durbin later approached her after the hearing.
The testimony added an emotional immigration-and-public-safety argument to Blanche's confirmation fight, which is also drawing criticism over his ties to Trump and disputed testimony from former Justice Department official Liz Oyer.
