I agree with Andres that you've probably put a typo and it should read "mira" so if that's the case, ok to go with "under scrutiny/observation"

Notes to answerer
Asker: thank you! I was guessing it was a typo, but I thought I should double check in case there was some other interpretation of "La mitra" that I was unaware of. Thank you!

the sights


Explanation:
An option, synonymous with Andres' answer.


en la mira = in the sights of (as in gunsights, i.e. a target)

Example sentence(s):
  • The Philippines in the sights of IS...
  • Australian businesses in the sights of scammers...
