A special City of Miami Commission meeting is scheduled for Monday morning to discuss the future of Miami Police Chief Art Acevedo just one day after he wrote a scathing memo calling out commissioners for reportedly interfering with internal affairs investigations.

The no-confidence vote meeting, getting underway at 10:00 a.m. at Miami City Hall in Coconut Grove, was called by commissioners following controversial comments made by Chief Acevedo during a roll call in which he said “It’s like the Cuban mafia runs Miami PD.”

Commissioners informed him that the Castro regime refers to Cubans in the exile community as the Cuban mafia.
