During the second day of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's Senate confirmation hearing, an "Angel Mom" told lawmakers that she and other bereaved parents had been "completely ignored" in their efforts to be heard on immigration enforcement issues. In response, Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Dick Durbin, a Democrat from Illinois, offered to meet with her promptly, appearing to react to the public criticism directed at lawmakers during the hearing.

The Angel Mom in question, Jennifer Bos, testified about searching for 51 days for her daughter before learning her body had been found hidden in a garbage can, and she urged the Senate to confirm Blanche as a step towards preventing similar tragedies. Her testimony formed part of a broader hearing in which families affected by crimes linked to illegal immigration pressed lawmakers to act on their concerns, with Bos highlighting what she described as a pattern of official indifference towards such families.
