The idea is to build the library next to the Freedom Tower, famously a processing center for hundreds of thousands of Cuban refugees who entered the country between 1962 and 1974.

[Attorney General James Uthmeier @AGJamesUthmeier]

Next week, the Florida Cabinet will vote to dedicate land at Miami Dade College to house the Presidential Library of Donald J. Trump. I’ll be voting yes!

Thank you Gov. DeSantis and MDC President Madeline Pumariega for your leadership.

It’s been an honor to work on this project with the Trump Library Foundation!

Nighttime is supposed to be a break from day time heat. But that relief is getting harder to experience.
