<p>A Washington, D.C., man was charged with assaulting a federal officer after he allegedly threw a sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent during a confrontation this week, according to court documents.</p>
<p>Sean Charles Dunn faces federal charges for allegedly throwing a sub-style sandwich at a CBP agent who was patrolling with Metro Transit Police in Northwest Washington around 11 p.m. on Sunday.</p>
<p>According to the criminal complaint, Dunn approached the officer while shouting "f--- you! You f------ fascists! Why are you here? I don't want you in my city!"</p>
<p>After several minutes of confrontation, Dunn threw the sandwich, striking the officer in the chest, the complaint says. The alleged incident was apparently captured in a video posted to Instagram.</p>
<p>Authorities say that after attempting to flee, Dunn was apprehended and later admitted to the incident while being processed at the police station, allegedly telling an officer, "I did it. I threw the sandwich."</p>

<p>The incident comes amid heightened tensions over federal law enforcement presence in the District. President Donald Trump recently announced plans to deploy National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., declaring a public safety emergency and putting the Metropolitan Police Department under partial federal oversight for 30 days.</p>
<p>District Council member Brooke Pinto, who chairs the Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety, expressed concern about the increased federal presence.</p>
<p>"It paints a picture of a city that is not my own and is not the experience of the vast majority of District residents and visitors," Pinto told ABC News.</p>
<p>While Trump has cited rising crime as justification for federal intervention, police statistics show violent crime has actually decreased.</p>
<p>"Violent crime in DC reached historic 30-year lows last year, and is down another 26% so far this year," DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb said on X.</p>
<p>The president maintains his stance, saying Wednesday, "Fighting crime is a good thing... Instead of saying 'He's a dictator,' they should say, 'We're going to join him and make Washington safe.'"</p>
<p>Dunn has not yet entered a plea, and court records show no attorney listed for his defense.</p>
