Miami Dade College President Madeline Pumariega signed away the deed for the 2.6-acre Biscayne Boulevard land to a state board managed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet for $10 in January, according to Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser records. Earlier this month, the state's Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund conveyed the land to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation, again for $10.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is leading the charge to defend Miami Dade College in higher court from allegations it violated the state's Sunshine Law, raising the stakes in a case involving Donald Trump's presidential library that could have sweeping implications for the future of government transparency.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday that he will present a proposal to the state's Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund to convey a 2.63-acre parcel of land in Miami-Dade County for the construction of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library. The proposed site is located adjacent to the iconic Freedom Tower. The proposal is scheduled for consideration at the upcoming September 30, 2025, meeting of the Board, which is comprised of the Governor, Attorney General, Chief Financial Officer, and Commissioner of Agriculture.
