I looked it up since I was curious too. They're going to a specific city for use by their local police.

They'll go directly to Miami’s newest sister city, Irpin, a war-torn area just outside the capital city of Kyiv, where dozens of civilians have been killed.

“Some would say we are stepping out of our bounds as a city to take this on,” said Miami City Commissioner Ken Russell. “This is for the average folks on the ground and the municipality employees, just like ourselves.”

Miami Police chief Manuel Morales is helping coordinate the effort and says the 167 guns will go to the city’s local police department.
