Overview
- Federal prosecutors obtained a federal warrant charging Sean Charles Dunn with felony assault on a Customs and Border Protection officer after he admitted to throwing a Subway sandwich at patrols in the U Street corridor.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Dunn’s termination from the Justice Department, where he served as an international affairs specialist in the Criminal Division.
- Law enforcement mobilized at least 20 officers in a nighttime operation to re-arrest Dunn at his West End apartment, an event captured in a professionally produced White House video.
- The White House’s “Nighttime Routine: Operation Make D.C. Safe Again Edition” clip has drawn criticism as political theater tied to President Trump’s deployment of federal agents and National Guard troops in the capital.
- A judge released Dunn on his own recognizance pending trial, rejecting prosecutors’ bid for pretrial detention on the felony charge, which carries up to eight years in prison.
