Miami Dade College Reaffirms Trump Library Land Transfer in Second Vote as Injunction Stands

A judge’s order keeps the downtown parcel under college control pending a Sunshine Law trial next August.

Overview

  • Trustees voted unanimously to reapprove transferring nearly three acres to the state for President Donald Trump’s planned presidential library.
  • The court’s temporary injunction remains in effect, preventing any transfer and leaving the property in Miami Dade College’s hands for now.
  • Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz has scheduled the Sunshine Law case for trial on August 3, 2026, with the schedule subject to change based on an appeal.
  • The parcel sits next to the Freedom Tower on Biscayne Boulevard, serves as a surface parking lot, and is valued at roughly $67 million.
  • Public comment was allowed through advance email requests and limited in-person sign-ups, as opponents organized protests and cited a petition with more than 11,900 responses.
