A group of about 20 demonstrators gathered outside the historic Freedom Tower in Downtown Miami on Monday afternoon, voicing opposition to plans for a Trump Presidential Library on land previously controlled by Miami Dade College.

Protesters carried signs and delivered sharp criticism of the decision, arguing the property should be preserved for students and the community.

The plan, championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and other state leaders, drew immediate backlash from activists who say the land was intended to serve educational purposes.
