"Miami activist Marvin Dunn, a retired professor and chronicler of local Black history, filed the lawsuit arguing that the college board violated Florida's Government in the Sunshine law by not providing sufficient notice for its special meeting on Sept. 23, when it voted to give up the nearly 3-acre (1.2-hectare) property. Last month, Ruiz sided with Dunn and granted a temporary injunction that bars the transfer of the property, at least for now."
"Attorneys for the college had asked the judge to stay the trial proceedings pending an appellate court's review. Instead, Ruiz scheduled the trial to begin Aug. 3, though she acknowledged that could change, depending on how the appeals court proceeds. The property is a developer's dream and is valued at more than $67 million, according to a 2025 assessment by the Miami-Dade County property appraiser."
A trial was scheduled for Aug. 3, 2026, to resolve a lawsuit seeking to block transfer of a nearly 3-acre Miami property intended for the state to gift to the foundation for Trump's presidential library. Miami activist Marvin Dunn filed the suit alleging Miami Dade College violated Florida's Government in the Sunshine law by failing to give sufficient notice for a Sept. 23 special meeting when the board voted to relinquish the parcel. Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz granted a temporary injunction halting the transfer. The college sought a stay pending appeal, but the judge set a trial date. The parcel is valued at over $67 million and is highly desirable.
