Domenic Santana, 61, of Miami, speaks with reporters in front of the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. US Federal Courthouse in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday, June 13, 2023 ahead of former president Donald Trump's arraignment on charges of espionage. "Enough is enough," Santana said of Trump. "He's got a cult following," Santana said. "I grew up in New York, in the school of rats," Santana says, "and I know a rat when I smell one. ... The worst he's going to get is house arrest. Let's hope it's not the White House." Santana was eventually escorted away from he courthouse by police who feared for his safety after Trump supporters began accosting him. Upon Trump's arrival, Santana was detained by police after attempting to run in front of the motorcade.

Knust wanted to protest "insane, fascist policies coming from the Demo-rat party," and is upset Republicans aren't "fighting back." A die-hard Trump supporter, Kunst does not like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whom he criticized for attacking LGBTQ people in Florida. "[Florida is] the holy land for gay people," Kunst says, adding, "A license to discriminate leads to a license to murder. And once you open that door..."

Reporters and supporters of former president Donald Trump mass outside the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. US Federal Courthouse in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday, June 13, 2023. Early in the morning, the scene was calm and dominated by dozens of news crews from all over the world. Around 11 a.m., dozens of Trump supporters began to arrive, some via a chartered bus that left from a Walmart parking lot in Orlando. Though many supporters mostly ignored members of the press, a number of agitators repeatedly harassed reporters, photographers, and smaller news crews. Concerned over a number of threats circulating through social media, a number of larger news crews hired private security to guard field studios and personal belongings. Throngs of crews arrived days in advance to set up tents, lighting, and sound equipment along the shaded north side of the courthouse grounds.

Luis Garcia, 57, of South Florida, stands in front of camera crews waiting to see if lawyers for former president Donald Trump will address the crowd assembled outside of the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. US Federal Courthouse in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, after Trump was arraigned on charges of espionage and obstruction of justice. A 28-year member of the fire and rescue service, retired US Marine, and self-described lifelong Republican, Garcia left the party in 2015 because of Trump's candidacy. Garcia describes himself as a "middle of the road person," and complains about the acceptance of political extremism. Wearing a firefighter's union shirt, Garcia is a supporter of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Garcia says that he showed up to the courthouse let people know, "One or two of us aren't afraid to be a visible minority," noting the wide support for Trump within the fire and rescue and law enforcement communities. Garcia calls Trump "a criminal sociopath" who has "torn us apart."

Keep Wonkette going forever. We love you.
