Case against man who threw Subway sandwich at federal agent during DC surge goes awry
The man caught on video throwing a sandwich at a federal agent during President Donald Trump’s anti-crime surge in Washington, D.C., was cleared of the charge against him.
Attorneys for Sean Charles Dunn argued that his sandwich attack was an act of protest protected by the First Amendment and a “harmless gesture.”
‘F**k you! You f**king fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!’
On Thursday, 12 jurors agreed with the defense. All of the jurors, including the foreperson, declined an interview request, according to the Associated Press.
The Department of Justice initially sought a felony assault indictment, but that was rejected by a grand jury. A lesser charge of misdemeanor assault was filed by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
“F**k you! You f**king fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!” Dunn yelled at the officers before the sandwich attack, according to charging documents.
He ran away from the officers but was later arrested.
Customs and Border Patrol Agent Gregory Lairmore testified in court that he felt the impact of the sandwich “through his ballistic vest” and it had “exploded all over” him. He added that he “could smell the onions and mustard” on his uniform and that the mustard stained his shirt.
Defense attorneys undermined the stain account and questioned Lairmore about jokes his fellow officers made about the attack.
Dunn had worked as an international affairs specialist in the criminal division of the U.S. Justice Department but was fired shortly after the arrest.
The man’s Subway sandwich toss was taken up by many on the left as a symbol of their opposition to Trump’s anti-crime policies.

Dunn thanked everyone who supported his cause in a speech outside the courthouse with his attorneys standing behind him.
“I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything happening. And that night I believe that I was protecting the rights of immigrants,” Dunn said.
“Every life matters, no matter where you came from,” he added. “No matter how you got here, no matter how you identify. You have the right to live a life that is free!”
In August, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) admitted that the surge in federal law enforcement contributed to lowering the crime rate, but other Democrats assailed her for giving any credit to Trump’s policies.

Indiana sues woke school district that allegedly tried to prevent illegal alien from self-deporting with his kid
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has filed a major lawsuit against Indianapolis Public Schools over their alleged effort to thwart the enforcement of federal immigration law and their corresponding violations of state immigration law, stating, “No public institution in Indiana has the right to pick and choose which laws to follow.”
The lawsuit, filed on Thursday in Marion County, requests an injunction against IPS’ “sanctuary” policies, citing a 2017 resolution passed by the school board that prohibits IPS employees from assisting immigration enforcement efforts “unless legally required and authorized to do so by the Superintendent”; from collecting any information regarding a student or parent’s immigration status; and from providing any information regarding a student’s immigration status.
‘Sanctuary policies are bad in any context, but they are especially troubling in our schools.’
“When a school district refuses to cooperate with ICE, it doesn’t just break the law — it endangers students, protects criminal aliens, and sends a dangerous message to every government body in this state: that compliance is optional,” Rokita said. “Not on my watch.”
Rokita told Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on Thursday that amid its apparent campaign to thwart federal law enforcement efforts, the school district had even frustrated the attempt by an illegal alien to self-deport.
An illegal alien from Honduras decided earlier this year to voluntarily deport so that he could one day apply to return to the U.S. legally, Rokita claimed. On Jan. 8, the day of his family’s planned departure, one of his children went to school against his wishes.

Rokita told Beck that when the father went to retrieve his son from school to ensure that his family could depart the U.S. together, “the school obstructed him and then obstructed ICE from assisting as well.”
“I can believe that there are schools this out of control, but not so out of control that they block a dad from picking up his own son,” Beck said.
The state AG indicated that in the time since, his office has uncovered a “whole string of policies” that the IPS has in place that serve to keep ICE agents from doing their jobs.
The America First Policy Institute, which has worked with Rokita’s office in developing the legal strategy for tackling rogue institutions and agencies, noted that the lawsuit is filed under Indiana Code chapter 5-2-18.2, which bars state and local entities from interfering with the enforcement of federal immigration law.
Leigh Ann O’Neill, chief legal affairs officer at AFPI, told Beck that several of IPS’ policies directly violate the law, not only frustrating law enforcement efforts but putting vulnerable kids at risk of trafficking and exploitation by making them virtually invisible to the authorities.
“Sanctuary policies are bad in any context, but they are especially troubling in our schools. Schools across the country are vulnerable to infiltration by criminal illegal aliens — it’s happened in many other states — and it is essential that ICE be able to take action when that occurs to help keep our kids safe,” Rokita noted in a statement. “That’s why my office, with the assistance of AFPI, is suing IPS to enforce compliance with state law and protect Hoosier schoolchildren.”
“Attorney General Rokita is showing exactly the kind of leadership America needs,” O’Neill said in a statement. “When state attorneys general act boldly to enforce cooperation with federal immigration law, they help protect families, uphold the rule of law, and stop the political gamesmanship that endangers our communities.”

ISLAMIC INFILTRATION: Muslims reveal their takeover plan
The Islamic plan to take over the U.S. is well under way, and it has been long before NYC’s new Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, took office.
“Zohran Mamdani winning is a huge victory for radical Islamists everywhere, honestly, because it’s legitimizing the fact that Muslims can just, they’re just going to take over America,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”
“And what they’re going to do is, they’re going to do it right before your very eyes. And what they know is that there are a bunch of white people who live here who are too scared to say the things that they’re actually thinking,” she continues, before playing an older clip of an Islamic man preaching to a crowd in New York City.
“We’re done hiding. We’re done. We’re done being tortured and hurt and judged. This is the correct religion. This is the religion that all of humanity needs to be a part of, Islam. And we will not stop until it enters every home,” he boomed into the microphone.
“There is no God worthy of worship except Allah,” he added.
And in another clip, Muslim Brotherhood leaders detail their plan to conquer the West.
“Seven hundred years of our trial to conquer Europe by force failed. They did something wrong, very wrong. They tried for many years to conquer Europe through wars, only wars,” one Muslim Brotherhood leader was recorded saying on a Zoom call.
In another clip, a man named Dr. Mudar Zahran explains what’s going on as “the soft Islamic conquest of the West.”
“What we couldn’t do in the last, say, 20 years now, the West is doing it for us for free, and even paying for it,” he added.
“They’re laughing in our faces,” Gonzales says.
“They are planning a takeover openly, and nobody wants to talk about it,” she adds.

Teacher shot by 6-year-old student awarded millions of dollars in civil lawsuit
A Virginia teacher who was shot by a 6-year-old student in Jan. 2023 successfully sued a former school administrator she accused of ignoring warning signs.
Abigail Zwerner was shot once in the hand and the chest in her first-grade classroom at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News. She was hospitalized for two weeks, and the boy’s mother was later convicted on gun charges.
‘A gun changes everything. You stop and you investigate. … You get to the bottom of it to know whether that gun is real and on campus so you can deal with it. But that’s not what happened.’
Zwerner’s civil lawsuit accused former assistant principal Ebony Parker of ignoring several warnings, including one from Zwerner herself. The teacher told Parker that the student had been in a “violent mood” and threatened to beat another child.
Another teacher reportedly told Parker that students had reported the boy as having a gun in his backpack.
On Thursday, the jury awarded Zwerner $10 million in damages.
Parker did not reportedly react when the verdict was read.
“I remember just three years ago, almost to this day, hearing for the first time Abby’s story and thinking that this could have been prevented,” one of Zwerner’s attorneys said outside the courthouse. “So now to hear from a jury of her peers that they agree that this tragedy could have been prevented.”
Zwerner’s attorney, Kevin Biniazan, argued in court that the report of a gun should have stopped everything at the school.
“A gun changes everything. You stop and you investigate,” Biniazan said. “You get to the bottom of it to know whether that gun is real and on campus so you can deal with it. But that’s not what happened.”
He added, “What number do you arrive at for somebody who didn’t want this and it’s been inserted into her life like a bullet fragment against her spine?”
The family of the student released a statement saying he was suffering from an “acute disability.” The child was never charged, on account of his young age. His grandfather said in an interview that he thought the attention on the case was racially motivated.

Zwerner testified at the trial about her recollections from the shooting.
“I thought I had died,” she said. “I thought I was either on my way to heaven or in heaven. But then it all got black, and so I then thought I wasn’t going there.”
The mother of the student, Deja Taylor, was sentenced to 21 months in prison for federal firearm and drugs charges, as well as two years for child neglect. Parker has also been criminally charged with eight counts of felony child abuse with disregard for life — one count for every bullet in the gun.
Interest on the award starts as of June 1, 2024.

Illegal alien learns his fate after a Wisconsin judge allegedly helped him evade ICE
The illegal alien whom a Wisconsin judge allegedly helped to evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement received his sentence for a criminal conviction following months in custody.
On Wednesday, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, 31, was sentenced to time served and will be deported after being arrested by federal officials in Milwaukee in April.
Prosecutors claim Dugan escorted Eduardo and his lawyer out of the courtroom through a back door.
He pled guilty on September 4 to re-entering the United States, WTMJ reported.
U.S. District Judge Pamela Pepper handed down the sentence at a hearing on Wednesday following a plea deal including a promise to never return to the United States.

According to the AP, Judge Pepper told Flores-Ruiz: “I very much hope you can find a way to make a living back home rather than coming back here.”
Flores-Ruiz will remain in custody until his deportation.
Flores-Ruiz’s attorney, Martin Pruhs, told the AP that his client was awaiting deportation in “the near future” but declined to provide further comment.
The full story, however, started more than seven months ago.
In March, ICE agents were alerted that Flores-Ruiz was due in court for three counts of battery. At a court appearance the following month in connection with the battery charges, Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan allegedly interfered with federal ICE agents who were attempting to arrest Flores-Ruiz at the conclusion of his hearing.
Prosecutors claim Dugan escorted Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer out of the courtroom through a back door on April 18. Flores-Ruiz was able to flee the agents on foot before his apprehension.
The following week, FBI Director Kash Patel announced Dugan’s arrest for obstruction, saying, in part, “Thankfully, our agents chased down the perp on foot, and he’s been in custody since, but the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public.”
Dugan was indicted in May, and U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman denied a motion to dismiss the charges against her in August.
“There is no basis for granting immunity simply because some of the allegations in the indictment describe conduct that could be considered ‘part of a judge’s job,’” Adelman wrote in the order, according to WTMJ.
Dugan’s trial is scheduled for December 15.
Flores-Ruiz pled no contest to one count of battery in October. He was sentenced to time served in that case as well.
