Divergent parties began assembling outside of the federal courthouse in Miami ahead of former President Donald Trump's arraignment on Tuesday, with pro-Trump individuals there to show support for the current frontrunner in the 2024 Republican presidential primary and leftists there to celebrate the indictment.
That mix, as friend of Townhall Marina Medvin pointed out, is a "recipe for tumult, if not worse."

Antifa put out a statement saying they will be in front of the Miami federal courthouse on Tuesday to celebrate Trump’s charges.
MAGA folks said they’re flying in to support Trump on his first court date— also planning to be in front of the Federal courthouse.
Heads up. Recipe…— Marina Medvin 🇺🇸 (@MarinaMedvin) June 12, 2023
The Miami police chief said on Tuesday morning that, despite significant security preparations, there would not be a barrier between opposing sides.
Whatever happens, Townhall's Julio Rosas is in Miami covering anything and everything that goes on as demonstrators show up, Trump arrives, and beyond.
Already, a bomb squad unit was called to a sidewalk near the courthouse but, as Julio had reported earlier, the item of concern was just a flat-screen TV with a profane message on its screen.

Outside the federal courthouse in Miami, this TV with “Fuck the communist controlled news media” is being posted on a pole by the numerous media tents.

By late Tuesday morning, most of those who had gathered at the courthouse were either members of the media or there in support of the former president.

Rosas talked to a few Trump supporters to get their view on the indictment and arraignment of the former president-turned 2024 candidate:
"The truth has been hidden...The mainstream media is corrupt, backed by George Soros..."

Vivek Ramaswamy, another 2024 GOP contender, showed up to hold a hastily thrown-together press conference near the federal courthouse to call on every other presidential candidate — including Democrats — to pledge they'll pardon Trump on their first day in office...but not before he had some trouble with a megaphone:

Trump...I have demanded that every other candidate in this race either sign this commitment to pardon...or else to explain why they are not!" pic.twitter.com/7rRCIkzyl1— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) June 13, 2023
This is a developing story and may be updated.
Trump supporters have every reason to be there. Antifa has no reason, other than to cause trouble.
How many jumbo jets of FBI assets have landed in Miami?
No doubt ‘Trump troops’ geared up for altercations with mostly peaceful pantyfuh types right? Friggin’ lame stream media assclowns.
True but it won't stop the feds, I mean CIA contracted dial-a-color-revolutionaries, I mean auntie faes from starting a riot.
“Trump supporters have every reason to be there. Antifa has no reason, other than to cause trouble.”
So they CAN casue a riot.
So, the media can record it /edit it and then blame it on mega MAGA right wing white supremacict terrorists.
Please Patriots......BEWARE of ANTIFA and Our CORRUPT GOVT. INFILTRATORS. They are there to create a VERY BAD SITUATION for you!!
other than a great opportunity for a false flag event?
GREAT POINT! And who is paying for these ANTIFA FREAKS to travel there?? (probably OUR TAX money)!
Don’t know. Hopefully zero.
Antifa or Feds?
Why does a communist organization care about Trump charges?
Is it because they are just the National Socialist Democratic Brown Shirts?
It doesn’t seem like there are that many people there at this point - not quite 1:00pm eastern. A couple of hundred, I think.
I read where the court is not allowing the Secret Service to accompany Trump into the courthouse. If true, it troubles me, because this follows the lone gunman/inattendent guard pattern we have seen too often from Jack Ruby to Jeffery Epstein.
Bad news....Cops/Mayors protect Antifa.
It’s almost as if they want violence to break out.🤔
Beat the crap out of the Pantifas if they start stuff, just do not go into or attack the courthouse
I have been to dozens of Conservative protests, big ones with tens or hundreds of thousands of people and have never, not even once, seen even a sign with the “F” word on it.
Ever.
And this includes the Taxpayer March on Washington, both Gathering of Eagles events, etc.
Actually, maybe one. And it was a bunch of Vets with a sheet that had John Kerry and Jane Fonda on it that said “F*ck Jane Fonda”. But I could be mistaken.
Thing is, they have not control on their side and ALWAYS resort to profanity. Always. Conservatives? Rarely if ever, and even then, it is mild like “Damn” or something like that.
