Sean Charles Dunn was not indicted by a grand jury for throwing a sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection officer in Washington DC. The incident happened on 13 August 2025 in a busy area known for bars and restaurants. Dunn called the officers “fascists” and protested against the deployment of armed troops by Donald Trump in the city. The case gained attention after a video went viral. Prosecutors may still file lesser charges, but this shows public resistance to strict federal action. Dunn will appear in court on 4 September 2025 to decide if a crime was committed. Similar cases have also seen charges reduced recently. This reflects criticism of the troop deployment as an attempt to intimidate rather than reduce crime.
