A Florida homeowner shot at two migrants who allegedly broke into his home Thursday night. One of the migrants, a Mexican national, died from multiple gunshot wounds. Manatee County Sheriff Rick Wells told reporters his deputies responded to a call about a shooting connected to an alleged home invasion burglary. The homeowner said his home surveillance camera alerted him to the two masked men who were about to break into his home, Fox 13 reported . “He [the homeowner] knew something bad was about to happen, and he didn’t stall. He grabbed his firearm, told his wife to get into a safe spot,” the sheriff said. “This is the state of Florida. If you want to break into someone’s home, you should expect to be shot.” The homeowner reportedly told his wife to find a safe place in the house as he grabbed his firearm to defend his home and family. Florida is a Castle Doctrine state that allows a homeowner to use deadly force to defend himself or others. The homeowner entered a room where a Mexican national was standing, later identified as Nestevan Flores-Toledo, 27. aka Anibal Miller-Valencia. The homeowner fired at least three shots, striking the intruder multiple times. A second man, Michel Soto-Mella, 39, was in the process of entering the home through a window and retreated, the sheriff explained. Deputies with a K-9 team tracked the Chilean migrant down and arrested him a few blocks away from the house. The sheriff stated that Miller-Valencia had an active warrant for a parole violation out of Oak Brook, Illinois. The Mexican national was considered armed and dangerous after his 2023 residential burglar conviction. Miller-Valencia died at Sarasota Memorial Hospital on Friday morning from the gunshot wounds received in this week’s burglary. The sheriff explained that Soto-Mella, a Chilean national, entered the country in California on a 90-day visa. That visa expired in September. Soto-Mella is under arrest in the Manatee County jail on the armed burglary charge. Officials said he could face a felony murder charge connected to the death of Miller-Valencia. “We’re trying to get everything that we can from the suspect,” Wells explained. “He’s being somewhat cooperative, but he’s not telling us everything.” Bob Price is the Breitbart Texas-Border team’s associate editor and senior news contributor.

NEW YORK , Dec. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new report from Liminal, a leading market and competitive intelligence technology company, global spending on third-party risk management (TPRM) is set to more than double—from $9.0 billion in 2025 to $19.9 billion by 2030. As third-party ecosystems expand, security threats multiply, and regulations tighten, this rapid growth signals a decisive market shift for companies striving to protect their data, operations, and reputations. Despite managing over 250 third-party relationships on average, Liminal's research found that fewer than half of organizations continuously monitor these vendors. Reliance on static questionnaires and annual audits has proven ineffective, with fewer than 10% of practitioners trusting their assessments. As compliance demands tighten—evidenced by GDPR fines in the billions of dollars—and threats evolve toward AI-enabled scams and cloud weaknesses, these outdated methods fail to identify emerging risks, leaving companies exposed. While most organizations recognize the urgency of new risk conditions and have increased their TPRM budgets, practitioners cite that progress is stalled by fragmented spending, siloed information, and manual workflows. The report shows that firms that invest in continuous monitoring, automation, and integrated solutions gain a clear advantage. By shifting from reactive, error-prone approaches to always-on, data-driven insights, decision-makers can detect vulnerabilities early, meet regulatory requirements more effectively, and foster stronger trust across their supply chains. "With TPRM spending nearly doubling and fewer than half of organizations conducting real-time checks, the data shows a clear mandate: it's time to evolve from basic, outdated compliance tasks to continuous, forward-looking risk intelligence," said Travis Jarae , CEO of Liminal . "Leading companies leverage automation and integrated analytics to stay ahead of emerging threats, turning risk management into a strategic advantage." Key Insights from The Market and Buyer's Guide for Third-Party Risk Management: "From healthcare providers working to safeguard patient data against potentially compromised supply chains to financial institutions navigating emerging regulations and data handling risks, the stakes have never been higher," said Joe Stuntz , Principal Advisor at Liminal . "Leaders who invest in advanced analytics, integrated solutions, and real-time monitoring not only mitigate threats—they position their organizations for sustained growth and trust in a digital-first economy."

(AP) — Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa led the NFL in passing yards in 2023, and he has been just as sharp for much of this season. But on Wednesday, Tagovailoa shouldered a share of the blame for what he called a surprising 5-7 start, saying his month-long stint on injured reserve with a concussion played a huge part in the way this season has unfolded. “I don’t think that (record) shows the character of who we are as a team,” Tagovailoa said. "It doesn’t show the work that we’ve put in this offseason together. “Nobody else will say it but me, and I feel like this has a lot to do with myself, obviously putting myself in harm’s way in the second game, going down and basically leaving my guys out to dry ... I do take heart to that as well and don’t want to do that to my guys again.” The Dolphins looked like they were returning to last season's form during a recent three-game winning streak, but questions about Miami's toughness resurfaced after a poor performance at frigid Lambeau Field last Thursday, when the temperature at kickoff was around 27 degrees. Miami missed 20 tackles, per Next Gen Stats, and allowed 114 yards on the ground while only rushing for 39 yards. Tagovailoa was sacked five times. The Dolphins have lost their past 12 regular-season or postseason games in which the temperature at kickoff was 40 degrees or lower, with more potential cold weather games coming up at Houston, Cleveland and the New York Jets later this season. Miami was 4-10 in games played in December or later in the past two seasons. “Collectively you’ve got to all have that same mindset,” Tagovailoa said of Miami's toughness. “That’s why we have team football, that’s why you’re in team sports. I think you’ve got to look at it as, are you mentally tough and are you physically tough? They have to go hand in hand. If one of those things has a kink in it, it could go one way or the other.” A few weeks after former Dolphins safety DeShon Elliott said the Dolphins were “soft” when he played there, linebacker Jordyn Brooks criticized his team's toughness after losing to Green Bay. “I feel like we let the elements control the way we played,” Brooks said after the 30-17 loss. “As a group, I thought we were soft. Simple as that.” Coach Mike McDaniel said he expects all kinds of criticisms to come when the team fails to reach expectations, but added that he uses the game tape to measure toughness. “If I have an example of weak-mindedness or situations where a guy is turning something down or how he’s loafing because of a result, those are things I can coach,” McDaniel said. McDaniel added he didn't see anything on the tape to suggest players weren't giving full effort, but he did see many instances of missed tackles because of straining and poor technique — not bringing their feet through the tackle — which got worse as the game went on. He also said players would have insisted he bench teammates if they were “loafing” or turning down assignments, which he indicated didn't happen. “I'm very aware that the narrative exists," McDaniel said, "and with absolute certainty, I know that the narrative will exist unless it changes. There’s one way to change it. And that’s winning a game against the New York Jets. "And you know what? People still might not call you tough. Cool. I take it very serious as a head coach to be responsible for things that can help to be accountable and to bring forth information that’s actually helpful, not finger pointing." Some Dolphins players disagreed with the notion the team isn't tough enough. “I guess we’ve got to prove it wrong," said defensive tackle Zach Sieler. “If people think that, we’ve got to go out there and beat it. I don’t think that’s the case. I think we play physically up front. I think we play physically all around. I think we’ve got to make sure we’re showing that on Sunday.” Miami placed backup cornerback Cam Smith on injured reserve after he dislocated his shoulder against Green Bay. The Dolphins also signed tackle Jackson Carman off the practice squad and signed cornerback Jason Maitre to the practice squad. ... Edge rushers Bradley Chubb and Cameron Goode practiced Wednesday for the first time this season, and McDaniel didn't rule out the possibility of one or both of them playing on Sunday. Chubb tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in Week 17 last season, and Goode ruptured a patella tendon in the season finale. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
