Pirro Sounds Off On DC Crime
A Washington, D.C., grand jury has refused to bring felony charges against a man accused of assaulting a federal immigration officer with a Subway sandwich. The shocking decision comes as crime continues to spiral in the nation’s capital under Democrat leadership.
Pirro: Jury Out of Touch With Crime Reality
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro blasted the jury’s refusal, calling it a partisan decision from jurors shielded in wealthy neighborhoods.
“They live in Georgetown or Northwest, and they don’t see the reality of crime,” Pirro said on Fox News Sunday. “That’s why criminals are getting away with it in D.C.”
Subway Sandwich Assault on Federal Officer
The case involved Sean Dunn, 37, a former DOJ paralegal, who allegedly hurled a sub sandwich at a federal immigration officer while shouting, “I don’t want you in my city!” and labeling agents “fascists.”
Prosecutors pushed for a felony assault charge, but the jury rejected it. Instead, only a misdemeanor will move forward—sending what Pirro says is a dangerous message that crime is “no big deal” in a Democrat-run city.
Crime Has Been “Normalized” in the Capital
Pirro warned that the real problem is cultural:
“Crime is so normalized in D.C. that jurors don’t even care if the law is broken,” she said. “President Trump has made it clear—we are going to turn this ship around.”
She noted minority communities are “hurt the worst” by rising crime and are “crying for help.” Pirro pledged to keep fighting for victims, regardless of liberal pushback.
Radical D.C. Laws Put Families at Risk
Pirro also slammed D.C. Council policies that hide criminal convictions from employers.
“That means you could hire someone without knowing they’ve committed theft—or worse, that they’re a pedophile. It’s lunacy,” Pirro warned. “We are changing it, but it’s not easy.”
The Bigger Picture: Trump’s Law-and-Order Agenda
For conservatives, the case is a glaring example of what happens when Democrats run America’s cities. Activist juries and soft-on-crime politicians let criminals off easy, while law-abiding citizens pay the price.
With President Trump directing a new push for law and order, Pirro says her office is committed to making criminals accountable—whether the crime involves guns, drugs, or even a Subway sandwich.
