A brief clip of a ‘60 Minutes’ investigation pulled at the last minute by CBS boss Bari Weiss is spreading like wildfire on social media amid fears of Trump-friendly censorship.
The segment—titled “Inside CECOT”—had been scheduled to air Sunday before Weiss stepped in to demand “additional reporting.” The program offered a deep dive into a notorious maximum-security prison in El Salvador where the Trump administration sent deported Venezuelan men it accused of gang ties. The prison was also at the center of a campaign by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to deter immigrants from entering the U.S. illegally.
