Kristi Noem takes NBC host to task after liberal tears over 'inhumane' Alligator Alcatraz
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made a fiery appearance on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday as she fiercely defended the Trump administration's controversial new migrant detention center in the Florida Everglades, dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz.' The interview came after Democratic lawmakers described the facility as a humanitarian nightmare. In a blistering exchange with NBC anchor Kristen Welker, Noem accused Democrats of hypocrisy and political theater after a congressional tour of the facility ended with accusations of inhumane treatment and squalid conditions. 'I wish they would've said that during the Biden administration,' Noem said as Welker repeatedly pressed her about reports of overcrowded cells and unsanitary water sources. 'They were piling people on top of each other on cement floors... and they didn't have two feet to move. They never did that, and that's why this politics has to end.' The clash came just 24 hours after Florida Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other Democrats toured the newly opened compound and compared it to an internment camp. 'There are really disturbing, vile conditions and this place needs to be shut the hell down,' Wasserman Schultz told reporters. 'This place is a stunt, and they're abusing human beings here.' According to lawmakers on the tour, more than 30 migrants were packed into cage-style cells with just three combination sink-toilets. Temperatures hovered in the mid-80s inside medical intake tents. Grasshoppers, mosquitoes, and other insects were rampant. One detainee reportedly shouted, 'I'm an American citizen!' while others chanted 'Libertad!', Spanish for 'freedom.' Welker confronted Noem with such claims: 'Thirty people stuffed into a jail cell? Drinking water from the same place they use the bathroom?' But Noem appeared unshaken and fired back. 'Our detention centers at the federal level are held to a higher standard than most local or state centers and even federal prisons. The standards are extremely high. This is a state-run facility, but it still exceeds the requirements.' She elaborated: 'I have been there and I have seen the rooms they are in. I will call them jail cells - it's a facility where they are held that are secure and meet the highest levels of what the government requires for detention.' When Welker pushed further, saying Democrats have 'called them cages,' Noem announced that the administration would soon allow cameras into the facility. 'We'll take cameras and show people what the facilities look like. Because if you compare them to what happened under the Biden and Obama administrations, these centers are at the highest levels - even higher than our federal prison standards.' Noem also disclosed plans for expansion. 'We are going to expand,' she told Welker. 'We're actively looking at how to open more detention sites like this one. We are looking for more information and how we can get more detention.' Noem stood by the facility and doubled down, revealing that five Republican governors have already spoken with her about using the Florida site as a model. 'We are going to expand,' Noem said. 'We're actively looking at how to open more detention sites like this one.' Currently, media access remains blocked and journalists were not allowed to attend Saturday's tour. Legislators were also barred from bringing phones or cameras inside. Critics, including attorneys and advocacy groups, claim the facility is little more than a prison camp hidden deep in Florida's swamps. Detainees have reported worms in the food, overflowing toilets, and 24-hour lockdowns in cages teeming with mosquitoes. At least one minor and several individuals with no criminal record are reportedly being held. 'These are human beings who have inherent rights, and they have a right to dignity,' immigration attorney Josephine Arroyo said. 'They're violating a lot of their rights by putting them there.' A Venezuelan detainee described the facility as a 'zoo cage,' adding that detainees were being pressured to sign self-deportation documents. There are several people protesting outside the Alligator Alcatraz facility Republican lawmakers say the criticisms are exaggerated. 'The rhetoric coming out of the Democrats does not match the reality,' Florida State Senator Blaise Ingoglia said. 'The living quarters were clean. The air conditioning worked well. No squalor.' State Senator Jay Collins, a US Army veteran who toured a different section, agreed. 'Would I want that toilet-and-sink combination at my house? Probably not, but this is a transitional holding facility.' Division of Emergency Management spokesperson Stephanie Hartman called the reports of mistreatment 'completely false.' 'The facility meets all required standards and is in good working order,' Hartman said. 'Every detainee gets three meals a day, unlimited drinking water, showers, and other necessities.' The Alligator Alcatraz facility was constructed in days and built on a remote airstrip in the Everglades. It now holds nearly 900 detainees but has a capacity of over 3,000.

GrubHub customer left gobsmacked after receiving the strangest pizza delivery yet
An Arizona woman was left stunned after police officers who arrested her GrubHub driver arrived at her door with the pizza she had ordered. Footage shared by the Tempe Police Department chronicles to Fourth of July side quest two cops embarked on to make sure the customer got her dinner. Around 10pm on the holiday, police pulled over and handcuffed a man they said was racing and recklessly driving. But they soon realized he was carrying a GrubHub order for someone named Brandy - and decided she would get her food even if her driver couldn't bring it to her. After getting Brandy's address from the man's phone, the policemen ended up in front of her apartment carrying her Little Caesars order. They rang the bell and patiently waited for a few moments until Brandy arrived to the door. As she slowly opened it, she greeted the pizza-bearing officers with a hesitant 'hello' - clearly baffled by the bizarre delivery. 'How are you doing?' the officer holding her food casually said with a smile. 'So, your GrubHub guy got arrested, so, still delivered your pizza.' As he explained the unusual situation, Brandy's mouth dropped open in disbelief and she let out a gasp. 'Well, I really appreciate the pizza, thank you very, very, much!' she responded while chuckling. 'It still should be warm,' the second officer chimed in. Based on video timestamps, only about 15 minutes had passed from the time the driver was arrested and the pizza arrived at her apartment. The department proudly shared video from the unusual ordeal on Saturday, writing: 'When a delivery driver was arrested during a traffic stop, our officers made sure the pizza still got to the customer. 'The order was Hot-N-Ready, and the suspect was Caught-N-Steady. 'We're committed to serving our community 24/7—whether it's safety or pizza delivery!' On social media, some viewers seemed just as shocked as Brandy was with the officers' delivery decision - which was certainly outside their job description. 'I would be so confused as well if that was my order,' someone wrote on X, with another adding 'This is and serve done right.' A department spokesperson told the Daily Mail on Sunday night he did not have the arrested driver's name or exact charges available.

Confusion as Donald Trump joins Chelsea on stage after Club World Cup win
Cole Palmer scored twice and set up another as the Blues stunned favourites Paris St Germain 3-0 in front of Trump in the final in New York. Trump, who was briefly booed by some of the 81,118 crowd at the MetLife Stadium, then presented Chelsea with the trophy alongside Gianni Infantino, president of world governing body FIFA, after the game. The first ever #FIFACWC Champions. 🌟 — FIFA Club World Cup (@FIFACWC) July 13, 2025 After handing the silverware to Chelsea captain Reece James, Trump was then invited to move out of the way by Infantino. However, he remained in position as James lifted the trophy and the team began their celebrations amid fireworks and confetti. 'They told me that he was going to present the trophy and then exit the stage, and I thought that he was going to exit the stage, but he wanted to stay,' said James afterwards. Asked what Trump had said to him, James added: 'To be honest it was quite loud. I couldn't hear too much. He just congratulated me and the team for lifting the trophy and told us to enjoy the moment.' Match-winner Palmer had appeared bemused by the situation. He said afterwards: 'I knew he was going to be here but I didn't know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy. I was a bit confused, yes.' Chelsea's victory, the culmination of FIFA's newly-expanded 32-team tournament, also earned them a jackpot in excess of £90million. Trump earlier said he had enjoyed the occasion, telling broadcaster DAZN at half-time: 'I am having a really great time. Tremendous sport.' In a longer recorded interview broadcast after the game, the president, who revealed his favourite player of all time was Pele, added when asked about the competition: 'It's a big thing. 'Gianni is a friend of mine, he's done such a great job with the league and with soccer – or as they would call it 'football', but I guess we call it soccer. But I'm sure that change could be made very easily. 'But it's great to watch – and this is a little bit of an upset that we're watching today, isn't it? So far. It's incredible.' When it was suggested he could make an executive order to rename the sport, Trump said with a smile: 'I think we could do that, I think I could do that.' The US leader was also asked if he could see a day when the USA, which will co-host the men's World Cup along with Canada and Mexico next summer, could dominate in football, and he replied: 'I can tell you we're doing very well on the other stage, on the political stage, on the final stage. 'We were doing very badly as a country. We had an incompetent administration and now we have a hot country. It's really hot and I think the soccer is going to be very hot here too.'
