Ohio GOP lawmaker calls for National Guard deployment to Cleveland

Ohio Congressman Max Miller called on Governor Mike DeWine to deploy the National Guard to Cleveland to address rising crime in a Washington Times op-ed on Monday.
Miller highlighted that Cleveland experienced 6,100 incidents of violent crime last year and recorded 46 homicides during the first six months of this year. He urged for intervention, stating that ignoring the growing lawlessness is a more drastic choice than deploying the National Guard.
City and county officials, including Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb's spokesperson, asserted reducing crime is a top priority through local enforcement and partnerships, rejecting the need for the National Guard.
A recent U.S. Marshals operation arrested over 130 violent fugitives, seized 3,000 rounds of ammunition, and removed numerous guns and drugs, reflecting ongoing law enforcement efforts.
Governor DeWine confirmed he will continue using the State Highway Patrol but will not deploy the Ohio National Guard, emphasizing existing resources are more appropriate to manage Cleveland crime.
