Miami Beach votes on enacting limits on protests following recent pro-Palestine events
The Miami Beach City Commission voted unanimously Wednesday for the city to enact limits on protests after a series of recent pro-Palestine demonstrations.
The resolution, introduced by Mayor Steven Meiner, will set restrictions on reasonable time, place and manner conditions for protests. The vote was first reported by the Miami Herald.
The resolution points to several pro-Palestinian protests that have taken place in the city since the start of the Oct. 7 war between Israel and Hamas. The resolution said Miami Beach recognizes “the importance of fostering strong and peaceful international relations by supporting nations that share these values, including the State of Israel.”
The vote comes just days after police directed pro-Palestinian protestors to move to a “free speech zone” near the Miami Beach Convention Center, saying they cannot stand directly outside the event’s entrance for security reasons, the outlet reported.
The city noted that it “seeks to balance the protection of free speech” and the right to protest peacefully “with the absolute need to maintain law, order, and public safety.”
“It is crucial that the City be more adequately prepared to lawfully manage the time, place, and manner of any future protests or demonstrations, and ensure compliance with its regulations by subjecting violators to appropriate penalties and/or sanctions,” the resolution said.
People and organizations planning protests will now have to advise the mayor and City Commission of the size of a protest before it takes place, so the city has time to “adequately prepare the public for the impending protest.”
Meiner supported the proposed resolution by citing pro-Palestinian protests at which he claimed “our laws have been violated.” The mayor cut off one speaker during a public comment period who said the ongoing war in Gaza was a “genocide” and said the resolution restricts free speech related to Israel, the Miami Herald reported.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that while the government can’t regulate the contents of speech, it can place restrictions on the time, place and manner of speech for public safety.

Toxicology report to help solve mystery in Miami and Miami-Dade
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Two police departments and the medical examiner’s office were working together to figure out how a man died.
While a toxicology report was pending on Saturday, Local 10 News sources believe a body found in a wooded preserve area in western Miami-Dade was connected to a missing person’s case further east in Miami.
Miami-Dade and Miami police officers worked together on Wednesday north of Eighth Street and west of Southwest 137 Avenue when a Dade police dog found the body shortly after 1 p.m., in an early stage of decomposition.
According to detectives familiar with the search near the Tamiami Bike Trail area, the white man was 30 to 40 years old, he was only wearing sweatpants, he was “lying supine on the ground” — and his body did not show any signs of trauma.
Detectives involved in the city and county cases were waiting. On Thursday, the medical examiner, Dr. Nicholas Barna, decided he needed toxicology to determine the man’s cause of death.
Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.

Is Tua Tagovailoa Playing Hardball – The Splash Zone 5/18/24
The Miami Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa have been a big talking point this offseason as the team tries to get their quarterback an extension. Tua is currently playing on the fifth-year option but would love to be rewarded with a new contract. Last month, Tua stated he would show up to OTA’s and let his agent deal with contract details. The Dolphins began their offseason program last month and while Tua showed up, he has decided to sit out most of it. It is voluntary though but perhaps the quarterback is protesting his contract status. We’ll have a better understanding of how Tua feels when he decides whether or not to show up for Dolphins OTA’s next week.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
Is Tua Tagovailoa Playing Hardball With Miami Dolphins?

Police chief: ‘Gang nexus’ prompts shooting in Miami Gardens
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Chief Delma K. Noel-Pratt said on Friday a “gang nexus” caused the shooting that woke up residents on Wednesday in Miami Gardens.
Surveillance video shows the flashes of light from the propellant gases that exited the firearms near Northwest 196 Street and 42 Avenue.
“There were flashes all over the place,” Luis Rivera said. “I could see it through the curtains.”
The area is home to Miami Gardens Elementary School and the Tender Loving Care Preschool. Bullets damaged cars and houses. Rivera lives with a 6-year-old girl who is undergoing cancer treatment.
After the shooting, the driver of a Nissan crashed into a fence and intruders ran. Rivera said he feared they were going to break into his home.
It’s unclear if other recent shootings in Miami Gardens have been gang-related too.
In April, a shooting injured two teens and three adults near Northwest 197 Street and 14 Avenue after a fight at Miami Norland Senior High School, at 1193 NW 193 St.
In March, the city had two shootings injuring four in one morning. Three were wounded near Northwest 198 Street and Sixth Place, and a man was shot near Northwest 210 Street and 38 Avenue.
Two men were shot dead on Jan. 13: Reynaldo Romanez was shot near Northwest 207 Street and 27 Avenue, and Javares Williams near Northwest 209 Terrace and 34 Court.
Federal, state, and local law enforcement partners reported “various street gangs” operated in and around Miami Gardens when a grand jury indicted 22 allegedly associated with the Zone 3 gang in 2019.
The Miami Gardens Police Department’s street intelligence unit has also been working with the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office’s Gang Strike Force.
Detectives asked anyone with information to call police at 305-474-6473 or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
