pending lawsuit alleging the college violated Florida’s public meeting laws by not adequately advertising the first time the board voted on the deal in September.u0026nbsp;u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eThe complaint, filed by Miami activist and historian u003ca href=”/miami/2025/11/25/miami-dade-college-board-to-hold-new-vote-on-trump-library/”u003eMarvin Dunnu003c/au003e, accused the board of quietly advancing the land transfer with no public debate and minimal disclosure about how the deal came to fruition. The site is a 2.6-acre college employee parking lot at u003ca href=”/miami/2025/09/23/trump-presidential-library-could-be-built-on-miami-site/”u003e500-540 Biscayne Boulevardu003c/au003e, adjacent to the historic Freedom Tower in downtown Miami.u0026nbsp;u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eNearly 100 residents, activists, students and political figures turned out for the second vote, sharply splitting between supporters who framed the project as an economic win, and critics who blasted it as a “land giveaway” to a foundation run by the 47th president’s family members.u0026nbsp;u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eDunn said he plans to press ahead with his lawsuit despite Tuesday’s outcome.u0026nbsp;u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eThe board voted to transfer the land to the state of Florida.u0026nbsp;u003c/pu003enu003cpu003ePreviously, u003ca href=”/miami/2025/09/30/state-officials-approve-miami-site-for-trump-library/”u003eGov. Ron DeSantisu003c/au003e and the Florida Cabinet voted to give the 2.6 acres to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation, which is led by Eric Trump, one of the president’s sons, Michael Boulos — husband of daughter Tiffany Trump — and presidential attorney James Kiley. The governor and the cabinet members are expected to hold their own redo vote as well.u0026nbsp;u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eThe foundation is planning a high-rise complex that includes the library and a residential tower. The pitch stands in stark contrast to a 2016 request for proposals on the same property, when the college sought at least $20 million in cash plus a student-serving cultural center and other commitments. That effort fizzled, and the lot remained undeveloped.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eMiami-Dade Circuit Court Judge u003ca href=”/miami/2025/10/15/judge-temporarily-halts-trump-library-land-deal/”u003eMavel Ruizu003c/au003e ruled in Dunn’s favor, prohibiting the college from transferring the deed while the case went to trial in August.
