Florida judge temporarily blocks transfer of downtown Miami land for Trump's presidential library
A judge halted the land transfer amid claims of insufficient public notice, blocking a $67 million downtown Miami site intended for Donald Trump's presidential library.
- On Tuesday, Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz temporarily blocked the planned transfer of prime downtown Miami land for Donald Trump, President's future presidential library.
- Marvin Dunn, an activist, filed a lawsuit this month in Miami-Dade County court against the Board of Trustees for Miami Dade College, alleging they violated Florida's open-government law by insufficiently notifying a special meeting.
- The nearly 3-acre parcel is valued at more than $67 million and currently serves as a Miami-Dade College staff parking lot adjacent to the Freedom Tower.
- A week later, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet voted to transfer the land again, moving control toward the Trump presidential library foundation led by Eric Trump, Michael Boulos and James Kiley.
- After the ruling, Mavel Ruiz, Circuit Judge, said `This is not an easy decision`, while Richard Brodsky, attorney for Marvin Dunn, argued the public board must follow open-government law.
