- Miami police have reportedly been told not to take Tuesday off work ahead of Trump's arraignment.
- Plainclothes detectives have also been asked to wear their uniforms, the Washington Post reported.
Officials in Miami won't let police officers call out of work on Tuesday, the day former President Donald Trump will be arraigned at a federal courthouse in the city, the Washington Post reported, citing internal emails.
The Post reported that plainclothes detectives have been ordered to wear uniforms in case they're deployed on Tuesday, too.
Neither the Miami-Dade Police Department nor the Miami Police Department confirmed the orders to Insider.
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and Miami Police Chief Manny Morales did not address vacation requests during a Monday afternoon press conference, but they said the city is preparing to respond to any violence or protests that happen on Tuesday.
Morales said that his department has been working with the Miami-Dade Police Department and federal officials to make sure Miami is "secure."
"We're taking this event extremely serious," he said at the press conference. "We know that there's a potential of things taking a turn for the worst, but that's not the Miami way."
Suarez urged any protesters to be "peaceful in demonstrating how they feel."
A spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Police Department, meanwhile, told Insider that operations had not been impacted by vacation days.
Trump is accused of mishandling classified documents after leaving the White House in 2021. He's facing 37 charges in the case.
According to The Post, officials have heightened security around the Miami federal courthouse ahead of Trump's arraignment.
At 2024 presidential campaign events over the weekend, Trump called the indictment "ridiculous" and "baseless," the Associated Press reported.
"They've launched one witch hunt after another to try and stop our movement, to thwart the will of the American people," Trump said to a crowd in Georgia. "In the end, they're not coming after me. They're coming after you."
Trump allies have hinted at violence ahead of the court date. Failed Arizona Senate candidate and Trump supporter Kari Lake said during a Georgia GOP convention that Justice Department leaders and the media will need to go through millions of Americans to get to Trump.
"And I'm going to tell you, most of us are card-carrying members of the NRA," she said. "That's not a threat, that's a public service announcement."
The Post reported that there are plans for pro-Trump rallies outside the Miami courthouse on Tuesday, one of which seems to be organized by the Proud Boys' local branch. Trump supporters had already gathered outside Trump National Doral Miami, where the former president is expected to arrive before his arraignment.
