Ohio Doctor Arrested Threatening Jewish Congressman Max Miller

Feras Hamdan, a 36-year-old Ohio family medicine physician, was arrested and charged after allegedly threatening Republican Rep. Max Miller and his family in a road rage incident. The confrontation occurred on Interstate 90 when Hamdan, reportedly waving a Palestinian flag, ran Miller off the road and shouted anti-Semitic threats including "death to Israel" and direct threats to kill Miller and his daughter. Miller, who is Jewish and a former Marine, called 911 during the incident and described Hamdan as "unhinged" and "deranged." Hamdan pleaded not guilty to charges including aggravated menacing and menacing with an ethnic intimidation specification, and was released on a $500,000 bond under conditions including surrendering his passport and no contact with Miller's family. The case is being investigated by multiple agencies including the FBI, U.S. Capitol Police, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The incident has sparked concern about antisemitism and political violence, with Judge Joseph Burke emphasizing the seriousness of the allegations and the need to protect elected officials.
