The Miami police are expecting anywhere between 20,000 to 50,000 people to protest outside of the Miami Courthouse where Trump is set to be arraigned.
As of right, there is a large appearance of media groups and protesters outside of the Miami courthouse where Trump is set to be arraigned.
One group that is out in front of the courthouse is Blacks for Trump.
Watch them protest here:
“Blacks for Trump” still making the rounds in the media pen. Still the only vocal support we’ve seen today, but it’s early. Miami Police said yesterday they are prepared for anywhere from 5,000-50,000 people. pic.twitter.com/grj8NRyNj1

Here’s what the Washington Post is reporting about Trump’s court arriagnmnet:
President Donald Trump is scheduled to make his first appearance in a Miami federal courthouse at 3 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, after being charged in connection with his alleged storage of highly sensitive documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate — and alleged lying and obstructing when federal officials tried to retrieve them.
This is the first time a former president has been indicted on federal charges. Trump, who is running for president again, claims the prosecution by the Justice Department is politically motivated. Federal and local authorities have ramped up security preparations ahead of Trump’s federal court appearance and are expecting pro-Trump rallies outside the courthouse.

Here’s what WCPO reported:
Authorities in Miami are preparing for potential protests ahead of the arraignment of former President Donald Trump in connection with the Justice Department investigation into his alleged mishandling of classified documents. Thousands of Trump supporters are expected to descend upon the city as he prepares to face a 37-count indictment.
The big question — are there sufficient security measures in place?
Trump has called upon his supports to peacefully protest outside the Miami courthouse and the city’s police chief said they have resources available to handle anywhere from 5,000 to 50,000 demonstrators.
ADVERTISEMENT“I want to show the city we are ready,” said Chief Manuel A. Morales. “We’re ready for it to be over and gone.”
