There was an advertised Proud Boys rally scheduled for 10 am, but as of 10:05 am no Proud Boys have arrived at the courthouse that I see

Miami police say they are ready for a crowd of anywhere from 5,000 to 50,000 people fwiw.

Vivek Ramaswamy is now holding a press conference in front of the courthouse. He is pledging to sue the DOJ if they don’t answer his FOIA for documents in the Trump case

Even as he defends Trump, Ramaswamy says he wouldn't have done what the former president did in handling classified documents. "I wouldn't have taken the boxes," he told me as he left the scene. "I'm not a memento guy. Not my style."

The scene outside the courthouse has now taken on the feel of a Trump rally. At least a few hundred of his supporters are here about 90 minutes before the arraignment.
