US Edition2 Virginia Brothers Allegedly Plotted to Kill ICE Agents, Homeland Security Says
John and Mark Bennett face conspiracy charges after allegedly plotting to attack ICE agents and police, with plans involving firearm purchases and coordinated assaults.
- Late last week, John Wilson Bennett and Mark Booth Bennett were arrested on allegations they planned attacks against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday.
- An off-duty police officer reported overhearing the brothers discuss plans to kill police officers and ICE agents, prompting the Virginia Beach Police Department to open an investigation.
- Both men were charged with conspiracy to commit malicious wounding, and John Wilson Bennett has served as assistant principal of Kempsville High School since 2009, officials said.
- Virginia Beach Police Chief Paul Neudigate called the allegations 'incredibly alarming', while the brothers were released to home confinement under pretrial supervision after their attorneys said the conversation was hearsay during a hearing last week in Virginia Beach General District Court.
- The case comes amid heightened national tension over federal immigration enforcement as Homeland Security officials ramp up arrests, targeting Democratic-run cities such as Chicago and Los Angeles under President Donald Trump’s crackdown.
