Fuentes-Banegas allegedly tried to disarm the officer during a scuffle after police responded to a domestic disturbance.During the confrontation, the officer fired his weapon, wounding Fuentes-Banegas, who then received medical treatment before being jailed. The suspect had entered the U.S. illegally through Texas in 2022, and immigration authorities have requested his detention. The incident has sparked political controversy, with officials criticizing sanctuary policies that prevented earlier cooperation with ICE, claiming such policies attract criminal activity. Fuentes-banegas was charged with attempted disarming of a law enforcement officer and is being held without bond.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>An illegal immigrant has been jailed in Virginia after allegedly scuffling with a police officer and trying to take the officer\u2019s gun.<\/p>\n<p>Suspect Nehemia Noel Fuentes-Banegas is a criminal illegal alien from Honduras, according to a Department of Homeland Security <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2026\/07\/30\/ice-asks-virginia-sanctuary-politicians-not-release-illegal-alien-who-tried-disarm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The release said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has filed a detainer with Fairfax County hoping to prevent Fuentes-Banegas from being released.<\/p>\n<p>Upon taking office, Virginia Gov.
