Sean Dunn, a 37-year-old Department of Justice employee, became a symbol of resistance after a video surfaced of him throwing a sandwich at federal agents in Washington D.C. Dunn's actions, described by some as an "assault with a deli weapon," were celebrated on social media as a manifestation of anger against the federal law enforcement presence in the city. Dunn's sandwich toss reflected a wider frustration felt by residents towards the perceived occupation of their city by armed agents and the perceived association of this presence with oppressive governance under Trump.
Sean Dunn, a blond 37-year-old in a pink button-down and New Balance sneakers, was captured on video Sunday night screaming at some of the federal agents who have begun patrolling the city on Donald Trump's orders.
Dunn's "assault with a deli weapon," has been celebrated as evidence of the city's indomitable spirit and as a rousing call to protest the incursion of the National Guard and federal law enforcement.
Witnessing Dunn release his anger via hoagie felt like a gift. His act was an absurd, desperate expression of frustration during a moment of significant anger in the District.
The armed agents chased after Dunn and arrested him not because the sandwich toss was dangerous but because it represented a broader resistance against federal presence in D.C.
