MIAMI - A Miami commissioner is set to take the stand Monday in his own defense.

Two of Little Havana's largest commercial property owners are suing Commissioner Joe Carollo, claiming he used his office to target them. One of those properties is the popular Ball & Chain restaurant.

In the federal lawsuit, filed in 2018, the owners accuse Commissioner Joe Carollo of using his influence to have the city's code enforcement, police, and fire departments harass businesses they run by shutting down events and slapping them with violations.
