Girl who fell off Disney cruise "was not being held" by father at time of incident, authorities say South Florida law enforcement is investigating after a 5-year-old girl fell overboard from a Disney Dream cruise ship Sunday, prompting her father to jump into the ocean after her. The Broward Sheriff's Office told CBS News Miami on Tuesday that the "little girl was not being held, as erroneously reported on some social media sites," referring to online speculation that her father may have been holding her on the ship's railing moments before the incident. The incident happened aboard the Disney Dream as it sailed between the Bahamas and Fort Lauderdale. After she fell overboard, witnesses told CBS News Miami her father jumped in after her and treaded water for more than 10 minutes. Inside 'Alligator Alcatraz': The new migrant detention facility erected at an abandoned Everglades airport President Donald Trump on Tuesday visited "Alligator Alcatraz" — the newest illegal immigrant detention facility in the nation that's located in the Florida Everglades and surrounded by swamplands teeming with alligators and pythons. "It's known as ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ which is very appropriate because I looked outside, and that's not a place I want to go hiking anytime soon," Trump said Tuesday during his tour. "But very soon this facility will have some of the most menacing migrants, some of the most vicious people on the planet." "We're surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland, and the only way out is really deportation," the president added. "And a lot of these people are self-deporting back to their country where they came from."

DHS responds after viral Alpha News report on Kenyan sex offender in state government The story of Wilson Tindi, a convicted sex offender and Kenyan national who rose to a leadership position in Minnesota’s Department of Education, has now caught the attention of federal immigration authorities. After Alpha News broke the story on Monday, it exploded online, racking up millions of views, tens of thousands of shares, and drawing national outrage. State legislators and major conservative accounts like Libs of TikTok reposted the story, putting pressure on officials to respond. And now they are. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a statement to Libs of TikTok addressing the case directly, which the agency reposted on its X account: “Under Tim Walz’s sanctuary city policies, this convicted sex offender and illegal alien was not just released into Minnesota communities but was paid U.S. taxpayer dollars and given access to innocent Americans that could be victimized and harmed. We will get this sicko and criminal illegal aliens out of American communities — sanctuary politicians be damned.” Nonprofits weigh in on potential impacts to SNAP benefits under ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ There are concerns that restricting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits could send more people to nonprofits, but those food providers are already seeing an increase in visitors, in part due to rising costs. Some Twin Cities nonprofits explained that if more people lose SNAP benefits under President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” their demand will increase.

Malik Beasley at center of gambling investigation; Pistons pause deal talks with free agent, per report One of the NBA's top free agents is now the subject of a serious gambling investigation from the U.S. District Attorney's office. Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley faces allegations of gambling related to NBA games and prop bets during the 2023-24 season as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks, according to ESPN. One prominent sportsbook reportedly detected unusual betting activity on Beasley props beginning in early 2024. In a Jan. 31, 2024 matchup between the Bucks and Portland Trail Blazers, the odds on Beasley recording less than 2.5 rebounds moved significantly before the game, going from around +120 to -250 after the Under experienced a high amount of action. Beasley recorded six rebounds that night. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Reusse Scoop: The MN Wild are going to trade Kaprizov for Connor McDavid!!! In a fitting tribute, Dundas names baseball stadium for Bill Nelson, team’s biggest booster On a lazy summer weekend when overcome with an urge to see a grassroots ballgame, the cure often has been to take a drive an hour south to Dundas. The Cannon Valley League offers some of the state’s top competition, and if it’s the Dukes vs. Miesville’s Mudhens, you have an unmatched rivalry. I was there one Sunday when there was a playoff game, with both teams guaranteed to advance to the state tourney. Immediately after the game, the managers went into a small area to draft pitchers from other Cannon Valley teams. Joe Driscoll had been drafted by Dundas the previous year. He walked around with a beer in hand, waited a couple of minutes and then found out he would be a Mudhen for this tournament. Driscoll tipped the beer upward in a salute and said, “Well, every team needs a role model.” Joe died three years ago, and the world has been a less enjoyable place since then.

The new AI regulations in the Big Beautiful Bill. What’s in the latest version of Trump’s ‘big bill’ Senate Republicans are trying to pass At some 940-pages, the legislation is a sprawling collection of tax breaks, spending cuts and other Republican priorities, including new money for national defense and deportations. Now it’s up to Congress to decide whether President Donald Trump’s signature domestic policy package will become law. Trump told Republicans, who hold majority power in the House and Senate, to skip their holiday vacations and deliver the bill by the Fourth of July. WATCH: The major snags holding up Trump’s ‘big bill’ as the Senate prepares to vote Senators were working through the weekend to pass the bill and send it back to the House for a final vote. Democrats are united against it. Here’s the latest on what’s in the bill. There could be changes as lawmakers negotiate.

Hortman funeral offers mix of sorrow, humor and reflection It’s difficult to sum up the lives of two people who die so suddenly, violently and senselessly. So it was heartening to the nearly 1,500 people gathered at the Basilica of St. Mary to hear the lives of Melissa and Mark Hortman honored with a healing mix of reflection, humor, remembrance and prayer. “Indeed, they lived lives with purpose and meaning,” said Fr. Daniel Griffith, Pastor of the Basilica of St. Mary. “Lives lived in service of others.” Fr. Griffith was the only one of the speakers who touched on the murders of the Hortmans, saying it should serve as another wake-up call, five years after the murder of George Floyd made Minnesota “ground zero” for racial injustice.

DOJ sues Minnesota over college tuition benefits for undocumented immigrants The United States Department of Justice is suing Minnesota over state laws which offer some undocumented immigrants access to lower in-state college tuition. The government is also challenging a new state program which offers some students free tuition. Members of the federal government are arguing these state laws “unconstitutionally discriminate” against other U.S. citizens and from other states who aren’t given the same benefits. Most recently, state lawmakers passed the North Star Promise Program, which launched just last fall and provides state funding to cover any unpaid tuition and college fees for students from families making less than $80,000 a year. The amount of money a student receives is based on whatever costs aren’t already covered by other grants and scholarships.

What if Trump's strategy is actually brilliant and works?? Trump says Iran-Israel ceasefire in effect after accusing both sides of violating it President Trump said Tuesday that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran was "in effect," and it appeared to be holding on Tuesday afternoon after 12 days of deadly conflict between the Middle East's arch rivals. Earlier in the morning, Mr. Trump voiced frustration with both countries and accused them of violating the agreement he had announced just hours earlier. Israel accused Iran of breaching the agreement minutes after it was intended to take effect, and said it would "respond forcefully." But after a last-minute intervention by Mr. Trump — including a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — the bombardments appeared to cease.

We get to know our new friend Michael Burt second generation owner of We Are Nuts. Why one political group should really embrace the holiday of Juneteenth. Juneteenth, officially Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. The holiday's name, first used in the 1890s, is a portmanteau of the words June and nineteenth, referring to June 19, 1865, the day when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War.
