While the U.S. government is sending the National Guard to several cities to support crime-reduction efforts, Miami will not be included in the deployments, according to local Congressman Carlos Gimenez.
In a post on X, Gimenez said he had spoken with the Office of the Attorney General, confirming that the National Guard would not be sent to Miami. “Miami is not Chicago or San Francisco — and never will be,” he added.
The announcement follows recent troop deployments to Memphis, after an initial deployment to Washington, D.C.
Gimenez also noted that FBI Director Kash Patel had misspoken during Senate testimony earlier this week regarding National Guard plans for Miami.
