Wish you had provided more specifics.
Like...what is "a while"? Two mins? Three mins? Half an hour?
Was it a mob of 10? 2? Did the FA explained to them the situation and then had them go back to their seats?
I know how those LIM-MIA flights are, and I know how coach is and how exasperating it can be to be sitting in the back plane for two hours. The passengers in the back probably got really exasperated and went to the front to demand an explanation or action from the FAs (not that it would resolve anything or that it was the right thing to do)
I do not see why the authorities in MIA should have got involved.
From your post, all I see is that there was a heated discussion between the FA and the passengers. I doubt the passengers where threatening or screaming nonsense (again, it'd be helpful to understand the situation if you described what the discussion was). Maybe they were just saying things like "what is going on! I am going to miss my appointment in MIA, etc!" and the FA said "The situation is this bla bla, go back to your seat immediately cause there is nothing we can do but wait". And then the pax went back to their seat. What is the crime/offense there?
Just a heated discussion is not sufficient basis to have the pax deal with "authorities", or is it?
