US EditionAugust trial set in case challenging Miami land transfer for Trump’s presidential library
Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz paused Miami Dade College's land transfer amid a lawsuit citing Sunshine law violations, with trial set for Aug. 3, 2026, pending appeals.
- Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz scheduled a trial for August 2026 to decide a lawsuit blocking Miami Dade College's land transfer for President Donald Trump's presidential library.
- Miami activist Marvin Dunn filed suit alleging Miami Dade College board violated Florida's Sunshine law by not giving proper notice for the special meeting approving the land transfer.
- The parcel is valued at more than $67 million and one unnamed real estate expert said it could sell for hundreds of millions more, highlighting its market appeal.
- Last month, Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz granted a temporary injunction barring the transfer, and attorneys for Miami Dade College asked for a stay pending appellate court review.
- The parking lot sits next to the Freedom Tower where Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has proposed establishing President Trump's planned library, with the state of Florida receiving the parcel from the college to gift it to the library foundation.
