Briefly

Yolanda Lopez is suing Opa-locka city and officers for false arrest after being mistreated during an arrest. The incident occurred after the closure of a flea market, impacting the community.
Attorney Michael Pizzi claims Lopez was seeking help via 911 during the arrest. The city officials have not responded to inquiries regarding the lawsuit.
The closure of the flea market not only affected the city's economy but also deprived the community of a significant social and economic hub for immigrants in South Florida.
Opa-locka Hialeah Flea Market was a central spot for South Florida immigrants to shop, socialize, and work, impacting individuals like Yolanda Lopez and her husband.
