Overview

• Sean Charles Dunn was charged with federal felony assault on an officer after a viral video showed him throwing a sub-style sandwich at federal agents in Northwest D.C.
• Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Dunn was fired from his Justice Department position following the incident.
• After an initial release, roughly 20 federal agents arrested Dunn at night at his apartment, and a judge later released him on personal recognizance pending a September court date.
• Street art and merchandise have spread across the city, including Banksy-style posters depicting a sandwich thrower, as protesters brandish loaves and hoagies as symbols.
• U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro publicly touted the prosecution as a warning, while critics highlight Dunn’s Air Force veteran status and argue the response is politically driven and excessive.
