Here’s the 60 Minutes segment Trump and CBS News executives don’t want you to see.

By Yashar Ali

CBS News pulled a story titled “Inside CECOT” just hours before it was set to air.

The report examined the Trump administration’s controversial deportation of more than 250 people — most of them Venezuelan nationals — to CECOT, a sprawling prison in El Salvador where detainees were held under severe conditions.

The segment featured interviews with deportees who described brutal treatment and alleged abuse inside the facility.

The decision to pull the story was made by CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss, and it triggered a firestorm within the network and, subsequently, in the public.

Here’s some info on the controversy and when I update this story shortly, I will link to additional reporting, but I wanted to publish this video immediately as a version of it was taken down on YouTube.

It turns out that the network delivered the segment to Canada’s Global TV app (it has since been pulled).

As I understand it, this is only part of the overall story, but this 13-minute-long video— sent to me by a source —is what exists.

I can’t do this work without your support. The kind of reporting I do — on topics like Scientology’s criminality and the abuses perpetrated by the Islamic Republic of Iran — is dangerous and expensive. Please become a paid subscriber today.
