Two brothers in Virginia have just been arrested for plotting to assassinate members of law enforcement and ICE agents. One of those brothers, 54-year-old John W. Bennett, worked as the assistant principal at Kempsville High School in Virginia Beach. His older brother, Mark, was the mastermind behind the plot to kill ICE agents. The two brothers were arrested at an airport after an off-duty police officer overheard them discussing plans to shoot ICE agents and cops. A Kempsville High School assistant principal and his brother are facing charges stemming from an alleged conversation they had about threatening to hurt ICE agents for “kidnapping individuals” and a possible meeting with other like-minded individuals to discuss “ideas and plans,” according to a criminal complaint. Mark Bennett, 59, and John Bennett, 54, were arrested at Norfolk International Airport on Wednesday around 9:40 a.m. and 10:90 a.m., respectively, with the help of airport police. The Bennetts are brothers, police say, and News 3 confirmed John Bennett is one of Kempsville High’s assistant principals. News 3 obtained a criminal complaint outlining the alleged conversation between the brothers that led to their arrests. On Saturday, Nov. 15, an off-duty Norfolk police officer was having lunch at a Virginia Beach restaurant at the same time as the Bennetts, the complaint says. The officer claims he overheard the brothers talking about “how ICE agents are kidnapping individuals and that they needed to do something about it.” During the conversation, Mark Bennett allegedly told his brother he was going to fly to Las Vegas to meet with likeminded people and return with “enforcement ideas and plans.” He also said he recently bought an assault rifle, the complaint states, because “it utilizes the explosive rounds that are needed to penetrate the vests.” John Bennett said he wanted to “go hunting,” as alleged in the complaint, and expressed interest in going with his brother to Las Vegas. These are the types of people leading our schools! Since his arrest, John Bennett has been placed on leave by the school. John Bennett was placed on leave following his arrest, WTKR reported. He did take a one-year break from teaching and tried his hand at police work, according to his LinkedIn, before hanging up his badge and returning to teach high school mathematics. Hopefully, some rogue won’t just let this guy off the hook.”
