前司法部员工因用三明治袭击联邦特工案开庭审理
摘要
前司法部助理Sean C. Dunn因涉嫌在华盛顿特区抗议活动中向一名联邦特工投掷三明治，现正面临审判。
前司法部助理Sean C. Dunn的审判于周一在华盛顿特区开始。Dunn被控轻罪袭击罪，指控其在八月的一次抗议活动中向一名海关与边境保护局（CBP）特工投掷三明治。该事件被视频记录，已成为当地反对联邦特工部署的象征。
根据法庭文件，Dunn走近一群CBP特工，指着一名警官并使用脏话，称他们为“法西斯”。随后他向该特工胸部投掷三明治并试图逃跑，但被当场抓获。
最初，联邦检察官寻求对Dunn提出重罪袭击指控。然而，大陪审团未对该指控进行起诉，导致目前的轻罪指控。
逮捕后，Dunn被司法部解雇。司法部长Pam Bondi表示：“我刚得知该被告曾在司法部工作——现在不再了。”
Dunn的辩护团队辩称，起诉是对他针对联邦在华盛顿存在的政治言论的报复。他们认为，向一名“全副武装、严密保护”的特工投掷三明治的行为通常不会导致联邦指控。
此案由特朗普任命的法官Carl J. Nichols主持。鉴于该事件的知名度，陪审团遴选可能会受到影响，因为该事件已激发当地艺术创作，成为反对联邦执法力量激增的抗议象征。
