Overview
- Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz issued a temporary injunction that halts deed work and pauses the planned conveyance.
- Ruiz found the trustees’ notice—described only as “potential real estate transactions”—was likely not reasonable under Florida’s Sunshine Law.
- Miami Dade College’s board voted Sept. 23 to convey 2.63 acres to the state, and the governor and Cabinet approved transferring it to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation a week later.
- The parcel, a college parking lot beside the historic Freedom Tower on Biscayne Boulevard, is appraised at roughly $67 million.
- College attorneys defend their notice practices and signal they may appeal or re-notice and revote, leaving the lawsuit active and the transfer on hold.
