Mike DeWine has extended the state’s National Guard troops’ deployment to Washington, D.C. until the end of November. A Joint Task Force–District of Columbia Spokesperson told us that Ohio troops haven’t been on trash patrol, though. “I talked to the head of the Washington, D.C. National Guard,” DeWine said Wednesday. '”Ohio troops being in the D.C. allows for the police to tackle violent crime, the governor’s team said, while National Guard members are patrolling buildings. Trump’s emergency declaration to take over D.C. just expired, but that doesn’t change anything with the National Guard as long as DeWine approved their deployment.
