Summary
Dick Durbin twice offered to meet Jennifer Bos immediately after Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing after she said Angel Families had been “completely ignored” in their push for immigration reform.
Bos, an Illinois constituent, told senators this was the first time she had ever spoken with Durbin and said proposed legislation from the last session had gone unheard by Democratic officials.
At the hearing, Bos recounted the 51-day search for her daughter Megan, whose body was found in a bleach-filled garbage can in April 2025; the coroner later ruled the cause of death undetermined.
Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, a Mexican national in the U.S. illegally, was initially released because Illinois law did not allow pretrial detention on the state charges, then was arrested by ICE in July 2025 and remains in federal custody.
Bos used her testimony to urge senators to confirm Blanche, casting him as a tougher enforcer on violent crime and immigration after local officials, in her view, failed her family.
