“He did it. He threw the sandwich.”
That’s how the defense counsel for Sean Dunn, the man who threw a sub-style sandwich at a Border Patrol officer in Washington, DC, this summer began the federal trial against him Tuesday morning.
meanwhile, there’s another, actually important trial happening that is describing horrific conditions of ice detention.
I’d argue 1st Amendment rights and the weaponization of the legal system are also important.
Are you talking about this trial right?
Judge calls alleged conditions at Chicago-area immigration site ‘disgusting’
We need to stay aware of how this and similar trials unfold around the country.
that’s totally fair. i suppose i meant that this trial should not need to exist because the sandwich debacle should not be any different than someone yelling at them–a simple non violent protest.
and yes, that’s the other trial I’m referring to.
