A man who worked for the Department of Justice was charged Wednesday after allegedly throwing a sandwich at a federal law enforcement officer in Washington, DC, amid President Donald Trump’s takeover of the city’s police and increase in federal law enforcement presence. “If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you,” Attorney General Blondie Bondi wrote.
According to police, Sean Charles Dunn confronted a group of U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers on 14th Street in Northwest DC on Sunday night, calling them “fascists,” adding, “Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!” Dunn then crossed the street and threw a “sub-style sandwich” at the officer’s chest, police said. Dunn then attempted to run away but was arrested.
Dunn confessed while being processed, saying, “I did it. I threw a sandwich.” Dunn has not entered a plea in the case and faces a felony charge of assaulting an officer. U.S. Attorney and renowned lush Jeanine Pirro touted Dunn’s arrest, saying in a video shared on X, “We’re going to back the police to the hilt. So there, stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else.”
The incident comes after convicted felon Donald Trump ordered additional federal law enforcement officers to the city late last week, arguing that crime in Washington, DC, is rampant. This (of course) is an outright lie-- city statistics show violent crime has dropped over the past two years after peaking in 2023.
