An Extremely Tense Situation in D.C.

Man accused of throwing sandwich at CBP agent in DC faces federal assault charges

August 13, 2025, 3:40 PM

A Washington, D.C., man was charged with assaulting a federal officer after he allegedly threw a sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent during a confrontation this week, according to court documents.

Sean Charles Dunn faces federal charges for allegedly throwing a sub-style sandwich at a CBP agent who was patrolling with Metro Transit Police in Northwest Washington around 11 p.m. on Sunday.

According to the criminal complaint, Dunn approached the officer while shouting "f--- you! You f------ fascists! Why are you here? I don't want you in my city!"

After several minutes of confrontation, Dunn threw the sandwich, striking the officer in the chest, the complaint says. The alleged incident was apparently captured in a video posted to Instagram. (actual photo below)

Authorities say that after attempting to flee, Dunn was apprehended and later admitted to the incident while being processed at the police station, allegedly telling an officer, "I did it. I threw the sandwich." (he will be remembered as an honest man)

The incident comes amid heightened tensions over federal law enforcement presence in the District. President Donald Trump recently announced plans to deploy National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., declaring a public safety emergency and putting the Metropolitan Police Department under partial federal oversight for 30 days.

Fortunately for the ICE officer, he was wearing a sandwich proof vest. He was a little out of breath for a moment but recovered quickly and only missed one-half day of work.

He's my Mr Hero!
Maybe he's the Subway killer!
Can we call this Deli-gate?
It was all a missed Steakum!
That's all I got

If Subway have any sense they will start a new ad campaign for the 'Dunn Deal' sandwich. Hell, I'd buy one.

The sandwich should include ICEberg lettuce and be served with a tossed salad.

He’s the DEEP STATE!

“This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ,” Bondi wrote. “You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.”

On a DC based forum where I post somebody is claiming a DC deli has already put a ‘Now you Dunn it’ sandwich special on the menu.

Dunn was apprehended and later admitted to the incident while being processed at the police station,

Boy, that crackdown is really catching the criminals!

Hey, CBP/MPD/NatGuard/FBI/ICE/etc. in D.C.: I know where there's a multiple-conviction felon and sexual assualter who has yet to serve any sentence living rent-free in government housing with a foreigner of highly questionable immigration status! I think arresting and deporting them would have a tremendous impact in ending the crime spree now going on in Washington.

Unfortunately, Clinton wasn’t convicted, so you’re wrong there; and he’s also retired, so he’s not living in the White House. But who knows—Hillary might be a foreigner, or there might be another woman lurking in the wings.

I read where one guy, speaking about the National Guard in D.C., said, “What are they doing in my city? They don't belong in my city.” He's wrong. It's not his city, it's our city. The capital of the United States belongs to all Americans, whether they live there or not. Perhaps we should all be allowed to vote in any election held in D.C. Some people seem to view D.C. as an imperial capital, as if we, the states, belong to it—not the other way around.

Two bullshit posts in a row. Must be some kind of record

Pointless? Sure, but i would like to see more:

Lib--please explain why, and why those in DC shouldn't have the same rights to elect a local government as in any other town or city. Or is it an "imperial capital" that permits us to impose our will on those residents?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Well, it makes as much sense as “Free DC,” don’t you think? D.C.’s not being held captive. What’s happening there is what governors all over the country should be doing, but unfortunately, most of them don’t have the guts. They are too afraid of political consequences to do what needs to be done?

I believe 99 people have been murdered in D.C. so far this year. That’s outrageous. It’s the capital of the United States; it should be a garden spot, with virtually no crime.

And don’t you agree that Washington, D.C. belongs to the American people, not just the people who live there? And, allowing all Americans to vote there would be a way to show that the United States is not an empire. D.C. does not rule the country; we rule ourselves.

And besides, I’d like to see the capital moved to a more central location and give the District of Columbia back to Maryland.

Needs to be done? Sending in the troops (and not just national guard, regular military) to somehow fight crime when that is not what they are trained for? I don't see it.

I think allowing the people who live in DC to rule themselves the same way any town or city does shows this. Or would you have every city governed by the vote of the entire country?

“We have DC: 41 per 100,000. No.1 that we can find anywhere in the world,” Trump said, holding up a chart comparing homicide rates across capital cities. “Other cities are pretty bad, but they’re not as bad as that.”

The chart Trump displayed . . . is from 2023. Since then, the district’s homicide rate has fallen considerably. The rate was not the worst in the world — then or now. In 2023, at least 49 other cities in the world had higher homicide rates.

Washington, D.C.’s homicide rate isn’t even the highest in the U.S. Per the February Rochester Institute of Technology report, the district has the fourth highest homicide rate in the U.S. after St. Louis, New Orleans and Detroit.

No, Washington DC does not belong to "the people" (whoever that is). It is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the US Congress. It has limited rule by its population - which you (lib) should support 100%. Trump has now conceded that he can't name the Chief of Police (or fire her) but his arse-licker Cole will issue requirements that the Mayor and the Chief are supposed to follow.

Clearly the Orange Asshole is pissed because DC cops do not cooperate with immigrant bashing
and the Chief is (horrors) a wummin

[Bicycle Bill]

And besides, I’d like to see the capital moved to a more central location and give the District of Columbia back to Maryland.

At the time the District of Columbia was created and the federal capital was sited there — after stints in New York City, Philadelphia, and periods when the Congress was located in places like Baltimore, Princeton (NJ), and York (PA), this pretty much WAS the center of the country.

And don’t you agree that Washington, D.C. belongs to the American people, not just the people who live there? And, allowing all Americans to vote there would be a way to show that the United States is not an empire. D.C. does not rule the country; we rule ourselves.

Of course he would LOVE it if other jurisdictions — especially the big urban cities that generally vote blue — could have their local elections contaminated and tainted by votes cast by the red-hatters in the rural backwaters like the deep south, or the American west, or anywhere else where the populace believes themselves to be good ol' boys who, in the words of the Hank Jr. song, think that so long as

"I live back in the woods, you see
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun, a rifle and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive."

You can see that in much of the bluff and bluster that he already posts here.

Yes, I'm almost a fanatical believer in freedom. However, there is no compromise with government; it is either the slave or the master. He who would be king, emperor, or dictator must be kept in his place; otherwise, he can rise to dominate and crush the little people.

The federal government was meant to be our servant, not our master. We should make sure it stays that way.

The people who chose to be residents of D.C. accepted an inferior status. It doesn't hurt to remind them of that. If they want to be equal to all other Americans, they can move to a state. When I was a member of, and associated with, the federal government, I accepted my reduced status. I kept my mouth shut and did my duty, because that was what was required to protect the country. I expect others to do the same including the residents of D.C.

So when will you cease cheering on the Executive attack on democracy occurring in DC (and elsewhere) right now? Tuck Frump is riding over all the rights for which you claim to stand. You even defend his outright lies about crime rates. And have yet to acknowledge his one truthful (and openly stated) argument that he's getting back at DC because their police don't help him round up immigrants.

Oh such a clever lad! "If you blacks /homos / women / Jews / living in . . . (name a city or state or country) . . . want to be equal to all other Americans / Germans / Koreans / Chileans . . . you can just move to . . . (name another city, state or country)". Genius! Sounds so familiar, doesn't it? Same argument, different mouth.

You act like D.C. is some kind of sovereign entity that can do whatever it wants. Well, it can't,and neither can any city. A city has no constitutional standing whatsoever; it's not even mentioned in the Constitution. Cities, are corporations, and solely creations of the state, which, in the case of D.C., is the federal government. Any corporation can be regulated or even taken over by its superior. A state is sovereign; a city is not.

And Trump is not trampling on freedom in D.C.; the place has had 99 murders so far this year. You don’t consider that outrageous? Trump is only doing in D.C. what should have been done a long time ago in most American cities. Something has to be done to stop the carnage, and don’t tell me gun control is the answer, because it’s not. If gangs and individuals want weapons, they’ll get them. That’s evident from how hard it is to stop drug smuggling.

The answer is better and more law enforcement. And if you have to swamp the cities with military and police to get that point across to the criminal element, then that’s what has to be done.

And your second point, D.C. is not just another city. It is the capital of the United States. It’s located in a special territory: the District of Columbia. Most municipal corporations in this country exist for the betterment of his residence but the District of Columbia exists for one purpose, to serve the people of the states of the United States. That’s the only reason it exists.

[Burning Petard]

So where is the 'Emergency' that justifies these special powers that Trump has assumed? The FBI crime stats for DC have been trending down in DC and most other urban areas. A single data point (99 murders this year) tells you nothing. One murder is too many. Crime level in DC is not worse in July 2025 than it was in July of 2020 when Trump was nearing the end of his first term. Better law enforcement does not mean arrests and detentions without probable cause or due process. DC has a home rule organization that was passed by congress and signed by the president. Before that it was ruled by a special Congressional committee, NOT the Executive branch.

A previous Democrat politician declared "We make our own reality" Trump seems to make his own emergencies and neither congress or the Ssupremes seem to have the integrity to stop him.

[MajGenl.Meade]

You . . . .

So, you don't respond to any of three specific issues but just make stuff up that wasn't even mentioned? Of course, I made no such absurd statement that DC can do whatever it wants. Evidently you would have been happy in Berlin in oh about 1933 - 1939 at least. You certainly seem to cheer on the forces of authoritarian anti-democratic dictatorship

Oh to be fair - you did deny that Trump is trampling on democracy. That simply makes you wrong rather than evasive. 99 murders is about 99 too many. But to use facts (which don't suit Trump's ego). . (he probably wouldn't recognize truth if it bit him in the ankle). .(well, if it did maybe he'd say "Oh that must be truth"). . (but I don't think so).

“The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that of Bogotá, Colombia, Mexico City, some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on Earth,” Trump said. “We have DC: 41 per 100,000. No.1 that we can find anywhere in the world”

The chart Trump displayed is from 2023. Since then, the district’s homicide rate has fallen considerably. The rate was not the worst in the world — then or now. In 2023, at least 49 other cities in the world had higher homicide rates.

You seem to back a President (not Congress, not "the Federal government" per se) sending in the jackboots to get rid of the undesirable elements - such as anyone Trump thinks should be proscribed, blacks, Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, immigrants and "liberals" - by any means necessary or unnecessary.
