CBS airs delayed "60 Minutes" report on Trump-era deportations to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, after pulling it days before broadcast.

CBS News will air a previously pulled "60 Minutes" report on the Trump administration’s deportations to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, which was removed hours before its December 21 broadcast. The segment, reported by Sharyn Alfonsi, detailed alleged inhumane conditions and abuses faced by deported migrants, including many without criminal records. Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss cited a need for more reporting and balance, though no officials agreed to interviews. The original version leaked online via Canada’s Global TV, revealing the administration’s refusal to cooperate and including footage of Trump and White House officials defending the facility. The episode’s delayed broadcast follows internal controversy and criticism over editorial independence, with CBS stating it stands by journalistic integrity.
