Gov. Mike DeWine says he won’t ‘second-guess’ Trump over deploying Ohio National Guard to D.C.
DeWine defended his decision to send 150 Ohio National Guard troops to Washington, D.C. as part of President Trump’s attempted police takeover.
A train derailment in East Palestine. Hurricane damage in North Carolina. Even conflict in the Middle East. Ohio's National Guard is called to help. And they often use a Black Hawk helicopter.
Governor DeWine confirmed that the Ohio troops, none of whom are currently serving as law enforcement officers in the state, will arrive in Washington, D.C., in the coming days. Additionally, governors from West Virginia and South Carolina are also deploying hundreds of National Guard troops to assist in the policing effort.
