Sandwich Thrower Acquitted of Assault in Washington Case
AP News reports that Sean Charles Dunn, a former Justice Department employee, was found not guilty of assault after throwing a sandwich at a federal agent during the Trump administration’s law enforcement surge in Washington. The viral video of the incident made Dunn a symbol of resistance. Dunn’s defense argued the sandwich toss was a harmless gesture of protest protected by the First Amendment. Prosecutors faced a setback in the case, mirroring broader pushback against the Justice Department’s handling of surge-related criminal cases.
