I don\u2019t want you in my city!\u201d before hurling the sandwich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the verdict was read and individuals left the courtroom, Dunn spoke to reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m relieved and look forward to moving on with my life,\u201d Dunn stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat night, I believed I was protecting the rights of immigrants,&#8221;&nbsp;he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>D.C.

However, law enforcement should never be subjected to assault, no matter how \u2018minor,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven children know when they are angry, they are not allowed to throw objects at one another,\u201d Pirro added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay informed!
