JD Vance is ready for the presidency. Florida aims a 59-year-old. All developments in the news blog.

In the US state of Florida, a man condemned to death has been executed for triple murder. The 59-year-old Curtis Windom was killed on Thursday evening in the Florida State prison with a poison injection, as the prison authority announced in the state. The number of executions in the United States has increased to 30, including eleven in Florida – the highest value since 2019 when 34 people have been executed.

In 1992 Windom murdered his then girlfriend Valerie Davis, her mother Mary Lubin and Johnnie Lee, who allegedly had game debts with him. He was later sentenced to death for the actions.

Members of Windom’s victims had been in vain for his pardon. “Our hearts are broken because the state of Florida did not listen to our requests,” said a explanation of the relatives. You would have forgiven the murderer.

The US Air Force, an Air Force veteran and Pro Trump activist, who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and was shot, will prove full military honor, reports the US broadcaster CNN. This is expressed to the family of Babbit in a letter from the high -ranking representative of the Luftwaffe, Matthew Lohmeier, shared in social media. He informed the family that their original application for military honor was refused, but “I am convinced that the previous decision was wrong”. “After reviewing the circumstances of Ashli’s death and taking into account the information that has been received since then, I am convinced that the earlier decision was not correct,” said Lohmeier. “In addition, I would like to invite you and your family to meet in the Pentagon to personally express my condolences to you.”

The United States permanently eliminates the duty -free limit for package shipments with a value of less than $ 800. According to US government officials, postal service providers can pay a flat fee between $ 80 and $ 200 per package for a transition period of six months depending on the country of origin.

After the deadline, the US CBP will collect the normal customs sets in all global package imports. According to the trade advisor of the White House, Peter Navarro, the closure of this “loophole for fatal drugs” is to save thousands of American life. In addition, the measure will contribute customs income of up to $ 10 billion a year to the US Ministry of Finance.
