[FoxNews] ICE agents tracked down and arrested Mexican national after Illinois court released him despite gruesome crime accusations
Immigration authorities in Chicago arrested a Mexican illegal immigrant accused of decapitating a missing Illinois woman and storing her body in a storage container filled with bleach.
Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, 52, of Waukegan, Illinois, was arrested in April and charged with concealing a corpse, abusing a corpse and obstruction of justice, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Immediately after his first court appearance, Lake County Judge Randie Bruno released Mendoza-Gonzalez from custody.
He was arrested again Saturday afternoon at a market in Chicago by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and remains in ICE custody, according to DHS.
In April, police in Waukegan, Illinois, found the body of 37-year-old Megan Bos, who was reported missing March 9, in a container in Mendoza-Gonzalez’s yard.
She disappeared in February, according to family members.
Mendoza-Gonzalez was accused of keeping Bos' body in his yard for nearly two months and abusing her corpse.
DHS officials told FOX News Bos’ body had been decapitated, and she was found 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."
