Applaud the Court for Blocking Trump’s Secretive Land Grab

In a major win for transparency and the rule of law, a Florida judge has temporarily blocked the transfer of prime Miami land intended for Donald Trump’s presidential library — a shady deal made behind closed doors and rushed through without public oversight.

Judge Mavel Ruiz ruled that the land transfer violated Florida’s open government laws, which guarantee that the public has a right to know when taxpayer-owned property is being sold or gifted. The massive downtown lot, valued at over $67 million, was quietly handed to Trump’s foundation — chaired by his own family and lawyer — without proper notice or debate.

This ruling sends a clear message: Florida’s public lands are not political trophies. The people — not politicians or billionaires — deserve transparency, accountability, and respect for the law.

Add your name to applaud Judge Ruiz for defending open government, stopping Trump’s secretive land grab, and standing up for fairness, democracy, and the public’s right to know.
