The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer requesting Virginia officials to not release Nehemia Noel Fuentes-Banegas, an illegal alien from Honduras, who faces felony charges for attempting to disarm a Fairfax County police officer on July 28. According to local authorities, Fuentes-Banegas emerged from brush during a wooded search, seized an officer’s firearm, and tried to disarm him. ICE’s detainer follows his arrest for attempted disarming of a law enforcement officer. Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated the individual is a ‘dangerous criminal’ and urged Virginia officials to prevent his release. Fuentes-Banegas illegally entered the U.S. in 2022. The Biden Administration previously released him into the country. Governor Abigail Spanberger’s sanctuary policies, which include banning state cooperation with ICE, have been cited as contributing to increased illegal alien crime in Virginia.
