A man has been arrested on a charge that he hurled a sandwich at a federal law enforcement official in the nation’s capital amid a surge in law enforcement patrols ordered by the White House, according to a court filing Wednesday.


Sean Charles Dunn, 37, of Washington, D.C., approached a group of U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents late Sunday, pointed a finger in an agent’s face and swore at him, calling him a “fascist,” a police affidavit says. An observer’s video captured Dunn throwing a sub-style sandwich at the agent’s chest, the affidavit says.

“Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!” Dunn shouted, according to police.
