The Department of Homeland Security announced on Nov. 26, 2025 that John Wilson Bennett, an assistant principal at Kempsville High School, and his brother Mark Booth Bennett, both U.S. citizens, were arrested for planning attacks against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The investigation began after an off‑duty Norfolk police officer overheard the brothers discussing the intent to “kill police officers and ICE agents” and planning to purchase firearms with explosive rounds in Las Vegas. Mark Bennett was detained at Norfolk International Airport on Nov. 19, 2025 while John Bennett was taken into custody in Virginia Beach the same day. Both men face charges of conspiracy to commit malicious wounding under Virginia state law. DHS highlighted that law‑enforcement officers have experienced a significant rise in threats and assaults, including an 8,000 % increase in death threats.
