Miami deal for Trump library next to famous Freedom Tower angers critics

Advocates say reopened tower, which tells story of Miami as welcoming city for immigrants, will be tarnished

The donation by the state of Florida of prime development land in Miami for Donald Trump's presidential library has angered critics who say it is a betrayal of the city's famous Freedom Tower, a beacon of hope for generations of immigrants.

Ron DeSantis, Florida's Republican governor, and his three cabinet colleagues voted unanimously on Tuesday to deed the almost three-acre parcel of land immediately adjacent to the building - also known as El Refugio (the shelter) - to the foundation that will build the library devoted to the legacy of the 45th and 47th president.
