Miami City Attorney Victoria Méndez was removed from her position amid controversy and criticism over her performance at City Hall. She was demoted in a 4-1 vote by the City Commission.
Méndez will continue as an attorney in the city's legal department to aid in the transition for the next city attorney. The commission aims to select a new permanent city attorney by April 25.
Méndez faced scrutiny over allegations of a house-flipping scheme with her husband, leading to legal action and an inquiry by the Florida Bar. Questions were raised about her decision-making process.
