The woke mind virus/indoctrination runs deep.
Turns out the man in the pink shirt and shorts in the viral video shown throwing a subway sandwich at a US Customs and Border Patrol officer in Washington, DC, and shouting at him ‘F— you! You f—ing fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!'” before running off is not only an international affairs specialist at the Justice Department’s Criminal Division (now fired) but was an active-duty staff sergeant US Air Force veteran.
Sean Charles Dunn, 37, was a cyber transport systems specialist who entered the service in July 2006 and separated in May 2011. He was last stationed at Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany.

Here’s the video of the Air Force vet/DOJ employee screaming at the top of his lungs that the federal law enforcement officers there to protect DC are f— fascists. How deep does the indoctrination go?
So, it turns out that the man who assaulted ICE Officers with a Subway sandwich, is a DOJ Employee. He has not only been charged with felony assault on an officer, but he has been terminated from his job.
Here is the entire video, leading up to the incident.

Last week, a man yelled at Customs and Border Patrol in D.C., calling officers “fascists” and throwing a Subway sandwich at one of them.
It turns out he wasn’t just anyone—he was a federal employee in the Justice Department.
Here’s why that’s significant.

Last week, a man yelled at Customs and Border Patrol in D.C., calling officers “fascists” and throwing a Subway sandwich at one of them.
It turns out he wasn’t just anyone—he was a federal employee in the Justice Department.
Here’s why that’s significant.
37-year-old Sean Charles Dunn embodied the deep state in a nutshell.
@TheJusticeDept told me he was international affairs specialist at the DOJ’s criminal division. Yet, as he saw federal officers on the streets of D.C., he could no longer hold back his contempt.
Why?🤔 Why did a man who worked in the DOJ’s criminal division see law enforcement officers as “fascist”? If he did, how could he live with himself as an employee of the law enforcement arm of the government?
It’s not just Sean Charles Dunn.
In April, @ScottWRasmussen asked DC-based federal employees who make $75+ per year and who voted for Kamala Harris whether they would follow a lawful Trump order if they considered it bad policy.
75% said said they wouldn’t😲
The Left often complains that Trump is firing “public servants,” but many of these bureaucrats think they know better than the American people who voted for change last November.
Many of them live in a leftist media bubble, and all they hear is how fascist Trump is.
They don’t process the basic fact that more law enforcement on the streets of DC means less crime and more safety.
As a DC-area resident whose best friend was robbed at gunpoint a few years ago, I can tell you—this change is long overdue.
Sean Charles Dunn was just one bureaucrat among many.
Most of those who aim to oppose Trump from within won’t be stupid enough to throw a footlong at a cop, but this incident should remind us that they exist & the admin must be vigilant.
DEEP STATE STATE OF MIND: DC Subway Sandwich Attack on Border Officer Reveals Entrenched Bureaucrats’ Mentality (Daily Signal)
By Tyler O’Neil
If you ever wondered what kind of person could work as a “deep state” actor, taking a paycheck from the taxpayer while opposing the people’s elected president from within the bureaucracy, look no further than Sean Charles Dunn.
This 37-year-old worked as an international affairs specialist at the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, yet he allegedly struck a Customs and Border Protection agent with a Subway sandwich on Sunday after shouting, “Fascists!”
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday that Dunn was out of a job, and that he faces felony charges.
“This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ,” she noted. “You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.”
It seems rather odd that the same people who are shouting from the rooftops that federal bureaucrats are noble servants of the public—so how dare President Donald Trump fire them!—also encourage lawless resistance to the will of the people, who elected Trump to close the border, deport the illegal aliens, and bring law and order back to cities like Washington, D.C.
Lest Americans forget, Trump repeatedly promised on the campaign trail to “rebuild our cities—including our capital in Washington, D.C.—making them safe, clean, and beautiful again.”
Make DC Great Again
Yet when the American people vote to make D.C. great again, the Left screams to high heaven about creeping “fascism.”
It’s not fascism to actually arrest criminals. It’s not fascism to deport illegal aliens. It’s not fascism to restore peace to American cities.
So many on the Left live in such a bubble that they have no concept of how fed up Americans are with the rampant looting, the illegals driving mopeds without license plates, the teens skipping subway turnstiles, and the homeless vagrants crowding the sidewalks.
I live in the D.C. area, and in recent years, my best friend was robbed at gunpoint in the nation’s capital. My female co-workers were scared to drive past a certain intersection because homeless men would cat-call them. At that intersection, one homeless man threw another into the street right in front of my car, and I had to jam on my breaks to avoid slamming into him.
Stores like CVS have everyday items like cold medicine locked behind glass doors because the crime is so bad.
It doesn’t have to be this way, and Americans voted for change in November.
The Left’s Echo Chamber
Yet the Left’s echo chamber finds any reason to demonize Trump, and it can be hard to escape that narrative, even if you want to. The legacy media strains to find any outrage when it comes to deporting illegal aliens—never mind the millions who poured across the border under the previous administration.
The negative media coverage gets a tremendous boost from the organized Left. Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union find any excuse to prevent Trump from deporting illegal aliens, suing to block his policies and turning every law enforcement action into a sob story.
The Center for American Progress, which fed 60 staff into the Biden administration, now hypocritically calls for “securing the border” despite its own record encouraging Biden to treat immigration “as an asset to be managed rather than a crime to be enforced against.” It demonizes Trump’s “chaos and cruelty” without giving an ounce of credit to the man who has actually secured the border.
Add in the groups that organize protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in cities like Los Angeles, and you’ve got real trouble on your hands.
These activist groups are more entrenched than you may realize. The nonprofits that sued the Trump administration in its first month received at least $1.7 billion in taxpayer funds under Biden.
Expect More Deep State Resistance
Sean Charles Dunn had likely been hearing a stream of anti-Trump news on immigration, and after Trump deployed federal law enforcement to Washington, D.C., it seems Dunn just snapped.
It isn’t just Dunn. An April RMG Research poll found that 75% of D.C.-based federal employees who voted for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in November said they won’t follow a lawful Trump order if they consider it bad policy.
These deep state bureaucrats think they know better than the American people and the leaders voters elect, and they’re listening to “experts” that rile them up.
Trump has given these bureaucrats an off-ramp. He offered deferred resignation—agreeing to pay them through the end of the fiscal year (Sept. 30) if they resigned early this year. It seems Dunn should have taken the offer.
Unfortunately, the mindset of seeing border patrol agents as “fascist” won’t end with Dunn, and many of former President Joe Biden’s political appointees have “burrowed in” to the bureaucracy and remain under Trump.
As horrifying as this story is, I expect it won’t be the last time a bureaucrat faces charges for brazenly assaulting an officer. Bondi’s response sends the right message: It cannot be tolerated.
