Miami sheriff allows law firm to profit from policing, lawsuit alleges
The Miami-Dade sheriff is accused of unconstitutionally allowing a law firm to profit when police seize property and cash, in a lawsuit that has garnered attention from national think tanks, business interests and defense lawyers and may impact how some forfeitures are handled in Florida. The case also draws attention to Miami’s new sheriff, Rosie Cordero-Stutz, the first elected sheriff in Miami-Dade since the 1960s. In court records, a group of mobile phone distributors and retailers in Miami say their bank accounts were frozen last year and more than $45.2 million was seized in legal cases handled by the Coral Gables law firm of former cop, prosecutor and judge Israel “Izzy” Reyes, on behalf of the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office. An additional $2.6 billion is also targeted for seizure from the companies, all under civil forfeiture actions that claim the money is tied to criminal enterprise. The companies argue, in court papers filed in October, that giving a private law firm a profit motive to pursue seizure of property and money violates due process rights, and should not be allowed. Civil forfeiture, which targets property rather than a person, and does not always require an arrest, is a controversial area of

Miami Carol City football players, parents sue FHSAA in last-minute playoff plea
This story has been updated with new information. Another high school football program has turned to the courts in an effort to keep its playoff hopes alive, but its legal challenge has hit an immediate roadblock . A Miami-Dade County judge on Friday, Nov. 6, denied an emergency request for an injunction filed by 11 Miami Carol City (FL) football players and their respective parents or guardians, leaving the Chiefs' postseason ban in place for the 2026 high school football playoffs. Attorney Jason Setchen of AthleteDefender and Coffey Burlington filed a verified complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief on Nov. 4 in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court. The lawsuit named the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) as the defendant and seeks temporary and permanent injunctive relief. I have tremendous respect for the FHSAA, but I think that what they did to Miami Carol City Football by imposing a post season ban on the entire team, which includes many kids who did nothing wrong, is overreaching and unfair. https://t.co/CYOynAultr — Jason Setchen (@AthleteDefender) November 6, 2026 The plaintiffs argued that the FHSAA's decision to ban Miami Carol City from postseason competition unfairly punished players who were not involved in the Oct.

Ex-NFL star Antonio Brown pleads guilty to reduced charge, sentenced to probation in 2025 shooting
MIAMI (AP) — Former NFL star Antonio Brown pleaded guilty Friday to aggravated assault with a firearm in connection with a 2025 shooting outside a celebrity boxing match in Miami. Judge Marisa Tinkler Mendez sentenced Brown to three years of probation, during which time he will have to attend weekly counseling sessions and not possess a firearm, among other conditions. Wearing a black leather jacket and white pants, he spoke sparingly and in a low voice during the brief proceedings in Miami state court. As he entered his guilty plea, the judge asked him to speak up. Outside the courtroom, Brown thanked God and said he wanted to “get back to life” and his family. He declined to answer other questions, but his lawyer, Mark Eiglarsh, said they were “extremely grateful” the case was behind them. “My client was facing 30 years in prison with a 20-year minimum mandatory, and he was given an offer he just couldn’t refuse,” he said. “Probation was too good to turn down, and we’re both very excited about the outcome.” The plea to the reduced charge allows the All-Pro wide receiver to avoid prison time and a criminal conviction. Brown had initially been charged

Luxury condos get all-clear for historic church site in Brickell. What's next?
The downtown Miami skyline will continue to change with the approval of a 75-story luxury condo tower at a historic church on a slice of bayfront land. The 619 Brickell By Nobu will rise behind First Miami Presbyterian Church at 609 Brickell Ave. after the city’s historic preservation board lifted one of the last hurdles needed to build on the site. The Brickell area has seen a boom in luxury skyscrapers thanks to an influx of wealthy buyers. Board members voted 6-1 on Nov. 3 for lifting a historic designation from the church’s school and parking lot, which sits directly behind First Miami Presbyterian, an area that will become the tower’s home. They also approved shrinking the site’s historic boundary — which originally included the entire three-acre parcel that the church, school and parking lot sit on — to just the sanctuary footprint plus a 15-foot buffer. Only one condition came with the vote: that the preservation board retain architectural review powers if any substantial changes are made to the tower’s exterior. “We appreciate the Historic and Environmental Preservation Board’s careful consideration of all the information presented and its ultimate decision to preserve the historic 1949 sanctuary, enabling the church
