The residents are suing Trump, Miami Dade College, and the state of Florida for what they argue was an unconstitutional action.

The plaintiffs claim Trump's library foundation and state officials violated the domestic emoluments clause of the U.S.

The plot of land is located in downtown Miami and has an estimated value of more than $300 million.

The land was owned by Miami Dade College and transferred to the state last year.

It was then gifted to the Trump Library Foundation.

Renderings were released in March, showing a skyscraper with the Trump name emblazoned on top.

Images of the interior revealed a gold escalator, giant ballroom, and gold statue of Trump.
