Overview

• Sean Charles Dunn, a 37-year-old international affairs specialist fired by Attorney General Pam Bondi, faces a federal felony assault charge punishable by up to eight years after throwing a wrapped Subway sandwich at CBP agent Gregory Lairmore.
• The White House released a professionally edited, multi-camera video showing over a dozen armed officers converging on Dunn’s West End apartment to execute a federal warrant.
• Legal experts and online commentators criticized the footage as theatrical overkill, suggesting the operation served political messaging more than public safety.
• Defense attorney Sabrina Shroff says Dunn sought to voluntarily surrender and highlighted his Air Force service and lack of prior offenses while condemning the deployment of roughly 20 officers.
• A federal judge agreed that the felony allegation was disproportionate to the nonviolent nature of a sandwich toss and freed Dunn on his own recognizance.
