Former Major Robin Starks filed a lawsuit against the Miami Gardens Police Department alleging wrongful termination after she voiced concerns about improper training and misconduct within the department. She claims her First Amendment rights were violated when she was retaliated against for criticizing the department. Starks was fired on June 28, 2023, after 33 years in law enforcement. She is seeking $2 million in damages, including back pay. ([miamiherald.com](https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/miami-gardens/article279368939.html?utm_source=openai))
