Released by SAFE-T Act, jailed by ICE: Man accused of hiding woman’s body in bleach-filled trash can arrested by immigration agents in Chicago

A 52-year-old Waukegan man accused of hiding a woman’s body in a trash can full of bleach couldn’t be jailed under Illinois’ new no-cash bail law when he was arrested in April. But on Saturday, his luck ran out.

Federal immigration agents arrested Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez at a Chicago market over the weekend, saying he is a Mexican national living in the United States illegally. And unlike local prosecutors and judges, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) isn’t constrained by Illinois’ SAFE-T Act. Authorities say he concealed the body of 37-year-old Megan Bos of Antioch, who disappeared in February. After nearly two months of investigation, police allegedly found her decomposing body in a bleach-filled trash can behind Mendoza-Gonzalez’s home. He told investigators she overdosed at his home, and instead of calling for help, he hid her in the basement for days, broke her phone, then moved her body outside, prosecutors claim.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The Illinois Safety Act is a "Get Out of Jail Free Card" for too many criminals. It is a Democrat sponsored bill that frustrates the police, prosecutors, and judges. It eliminated cash bail requirements.

This idiotic bill was signed into law by Governor J. B. Pritzker in 2021. After court challenges, the law took effect in 2023.

That wouldn’t be so surprising given their left leaning bias.
