A Trump press conference hinting at a future deployment of Guard members to Chicago raised questions about whether Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine would approve sending the Ohio National Guard to Chicago. Cleveland’s ABC5 interviewed U.S. Congressional Candidate Adam Miller about the topic.
150 Ohio National Guard members have already been deployed to Washington D.C.
“To see those folks walking around with big trash bags on the National Mall, it’s just not the best use of those folks, and frankly, not the best use of taxpayer money,” veteran and lawyer Adam Miller said, according to the interview.
“‘Does the mission in front of us meet the requirements of federal law and the state law that implements that law in our federal system?’ And if it doesn’t, then we don’t send our troops,” said Miller, a retired U.S. Army Colonel and JAG attorney.
