WASHINGTON –Today, Rep. Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11) released the following statement regarding the President’s plan to deploy federal agents to Cleveland:

“The deployment of militarized agents to Cleveland and cities across the country is unconstitutional and reminds us of the actions of dictators and despots of old.  It disregards the right of our cities and states to govern and protect their residents.  The President is not trying to protect Americans.  Instead, he is attempting to intimidate and silence those who disagree with his policies.  These unlawful actions must stop!”
