Republican bill would put 'anarchist jurisdictions' on notice, threaten federal funding
FIRST ON FOX: A Senate Republican wants to slash federal funding to "anarchist jurisdictions" that run afoul of President Donald Trump's immigration agenda in the wake of the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., plans to introduce the Stop Anarchists from Endangering (SAFE) Cities Act, which would put cities that push back against the Trump administration's immigration plan in danger of losing federal funding. Sheehy's bill would direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to identify and publish a list of anarchist jurisdictions. If a city is on the list, their funding would be put in jeopardy. From there, Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought Office would issue guidance to the heads of various federal agencies to restrict anarchist jurisdictions' eligibility to receive federal grants, according to the bill text. "It's not too much for Americans to ask that their local governments put the safety of their people first, but too often, far-left public officials allow violent criminals to wreak havoc on families, communities, and businesses with no consequence," Sheehy said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Ensuring taxpayer dollars go to communities who uphold the law and keep their citizens safe is America First common sense," he continued. The push comes on the heels of anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, where Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass pushed back against the Trump administration's deportation operations. In the aftermath of the riots the Trump administration earlier this month filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles, where it alleged that the city's policies interfere with federal immigration authorities from doing their jobs. And last month, a companion to the bill was introduced in the House by Rep. Tony Wied, R-Wis. "I'm grateful to Sen. Sheehy for standing with me and declaring that we will no longer allow radical elected officials to be rewarded for putting violent extremists over law-abiding citizens," Wied said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "They must either restore the rule of law in their communities or lose their federal funding. They can't have both." The bill seeks to codify a memo Trump authorized during his first term on the heels of unrest in major cities throughout the country following the death of George Floyd. At the time, Trump argued that his "administration will not allow federal tax dollars to fund cities that allow themselves to deteriorate into lawless zones." He ordered then-Attorney General William Barr in September 2020 to have the DOJ publish a list that identified state and local jurisdictions that have "permitted violence and the destruction of property to persist and have refused to undertake reasonable measures to counteract these criminal activities." Anarchist jurisdictions would make the list if they forbid law enforcement from intervening to restore order, withdraw law enforcement from an area where they were lawfully entitled to be, defund the police or refuse law enforcement aid from the federal government, and would be subject to losing federal grant funding.

9-year-old girl was murdered by her father who claimed she had been abducted, N.Y. State Police say
New York State Police said the father of a 9-year-old girl who was initially the subject of an Amber Alert and was later found dead has been charged with her murder. Luciano Frattolin faces second-degree murder and concealment of a human corpse charges in the death of his daughter Milena, whose body was found in a pond after her father allegedly killed her and reported her missing. Authorities said they received a 911 call around 10 p.m. Saturday from her father, who claimed Milena may have been abducted near Exit 22 on I-87. Authorities issued an Amber Alert for her. Sunday morning, authorities searched an area that her father was believed to have been in with the girl, in the upstate town of Ticonderoga, near the border of Vermont. "During that search detail, at approximately 10:50, members of the New York State Police Horse Rangers located Melina deceased in a shallow portion of the pond," a New York State Police officer said. New York State Police said the Melina and her father legally entered the U.S. on July 11 on vacation from Canada. They were supposed to return to Montreal on Sunday, July 20. Milena lived in Canada with her mother. Her father and mother had been estranged since 2019, police said. Milena was seen on surveillance video in Saratoga Springs at around 5:30 p.m. with her father, and she spoke with her mother on the phone at around 6:30 p.m. "The child appeared to be in good health and did not indicate she was under any duress," New York State Police said. Police believe her father allegedly murdered Melina sometime after her phone call and before he called 911 at around 10 p.m. "Initial reports from Mr. Frattolin of a suspicious white van in the area of the alleged disappearance was proven to be untrue," New York State Police said. Her cause of death is pending the results of an autopsy. Anyone who has information about Milena's death is asked to call New York State Police at 518-783-3211.

ICE arrests man accused of concealing Antioch, Illinois woman's body
An Antioch, Illinois woman was missing for weeks before her body was found hidden in a container in Waukegan this past spring, and now, a suspect charged in connection with her death may not face justice after he was picked up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement this week. Jose Mendoza-Gonzalez of Waukegan, Illinois,, faces several charges associated with hiding Megan Bos' body after she disappeared in February. None of the charges though were severe enough for detainment in Lake County, Illinois court, so Bos' loved ones say this development comes with complex emotions. "I've never called her anything but my sister," said Jennie Szalay. "I call her mom my mom, her dad my dad." Szalay and Bos were friends for three decades, going back to when they were nine years old. After Bos disappeared, Szalay was part of the team that circulated missing persons flyers around Waukegan. The team met just 100 feet from the backyard where Bos' body was found hidden in a garbage can. Bos was reported missing to the Antioch Police Department on March 9, according to Waukegan police. On Thursday, April 10, Antioch detectives went to a Waukegan business to question Mendoza-Gonzalez as a person of interest who had frequent contact with Bos. During that conversation, which had to be translated into Spanish, Mendoza-Gonzalez talked about Bos going to his house on Feb. 19 but initially said she left after her visit, police said. After further conversation about her whereabouts and whether she was still alive, he said that he did not want to be arrested at the store but did not say why, police said. The conversation moved to the Waukegan Police Department, where Mendoza-Gonzalez told detectives that Bos was in a container in his yard in Waukegan, police said. He went on to say that Bos had come over to his residence on Feb. 19, and at some point, she snorted some drugs, but he did not know what type of drug it was, police said. Mendoza-Gonzalez then told detectives that she asked if she could hang out in his basement, which he let her do, police said. He went to another part of the house, tending to a leaky pipe, but when he returned, he found her, police said. He believed she had overdosed and was already dead, police said. Police said Mendoza-Gonzalez said he was scared that he was going to be in trouble, so he left her in the basement for a few days before moving her to a container in his yard, where she remained until she was found by police. Mendoza-Gonzalez, 52, is now charged with concealing Bos' death, abuse of a corpse, and obstructing justice. Mendoza-Gonzalez was released to his home, as the charges didn't qualify for pre-trial detainment under Illinois' SAFE-T Act. The defendant is now instead being detained by ICE. He is a Mexican national who could be deported before trial. "We all slept better last night, knowing that A, no other person is going to get hurt right now, by him, at least; B, he didn't get to just go back home and sleep in his own bed," said Szalay. "You have to keep in mind — it's two separate sovereigns doing two different things — the criminal case to put him in jail, and the immigration case possibly to deport him," said CBS News Chicago Legal Analyst Irv Miller. Bos' loved ones are hoping to see the justice they wear across their hearts play out in court. "Does this feel like justice? Absolutely. But is this where we stop? Absolutely not," said Szalay. CBS News Chicago has reached out to ICE and to the Lake County, Illinois State's Attorney's office for next steps, but have not heard back
