Miami police prepared for Trump arraignment – video | US news

As court officials set up barricades and police tape around the Miami courthouse where Donald Trump is due to be arraigned on Tuesday afternoon, police officials sought to assure local residents they would safely handle any protests.

Miami police chief Manny Morales repeated that the city is ready for protests of any size.

‘We’re taking this event extremely seriously. We know that there is a potential of things taking a turn for the worst, but that’s not the Miami way,’ Morales said.

‘We’re bringing enough resources to handle crowds, anywhere from 5,000 to 50,000. We don’t expect any issues,’ he added
