to authorities in Miami on Tuesday. The MAGA faithful, of which there are plenty in South Florida, are expected to show up to protest in droves.
City officials are bracing for the possibility of large crowds outside the courthouse where Trump will surrender to face the historic arraignment on charges related to his handling classified government documents. “We are taking this very seriously,” Miami Mayor Xavier Suarez said Monday at a press conference, citing plans for stepped-up security measures.
Political passion is expected to draw both supporters and opponents of the former president to the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. federal courthouse in downtown Miami, where the hearing slated to begin at 3 p.m. local time. Depending on how many people gather there, Miami police are likely to close some streets near the glass-coated, two-tower courthouse, which has a ground-level outdoor plaza.
“We’re bringing enough resources to handle a crowd anywhere from 5,000 to 50,000,” Manny Morales, Miami’s chief of police, said at Monday’s press conference. “We don’t expect any issues … We have experience in handling large demonstrations. This is the city of Miami.” Asked if a threat linked to Trump’s appearance in court has emerged online, Morales said, “There have been a lot of posts. None that I’m aware of … has any credibility.
Trump has encouraged his supporters to gather around the courthouse in Miami and protest the federal charges against him. “They have to go out and they have to protest peacefully,” he said during a radio interview with his ally Roger Stone. The former president clearly wants to turn the indictment into a rallying point for his supporters. He’s also been fundraising off the indictment, and he is expected to fly to New Jersey after the arraignment to speak at his club in Bedminster.
