US Edition"60 Minutes" Airing Report on Trump Deportations that Was Suddenly Pulled a Month Ago
The report on U.S. deportations to El Salvador's CECOT prison airs after a month-long delay due to demands for administration viewpoints and added reporting, CBS said.
- Sunday, 60 Minutes will air the delayed Inside CECOT segment on Trump administration deportations, four weeks after it was pulled from the Dec. 21 lineup.
- When Bari Weiss pulled it last month, she shelved the Dec. 21 airing despite the report being legally vetted and ready, saying it needed additional reporting and stronger sourcing.
- A Canadian copy leaked online and clips quickly spread on YouTube and X, while Sharyn Alfonsi, 60 Minutes correspondent, accused the move of political censorship.
- The version set to air contains Trump administration statements and three minutes of new reporting but includes no on-screen interviews and faces NFL divisional round playoff game competition.
- Critics warn the move signals corporate pressure as Bari Weiss’s shelving raises newsroom-independence concerns and Sharyn Alfonsi’s contract lapses this summer, risking her career.
