CBS News’s “60 Minutes” segment highlighting men deported to El Salvador’s CECOT prison will air Sunday evening after new Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss previously pulled the piece from airwaves last month.
“Last year, the Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador, a country most had no ties to, claiming they were terrorists. This unusual move sparked an ongoing legal battle, and ten months later the U.S. government still has not released the names of all those deported and placed in CECOT, one of El Salvador’s harshest prisons,” a CBS promotion for the segment said.
“Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi speaks with some of the now released deportees, who describe the brutal and torturous conditions they endured inside CECOT. Oriana Zill de Granados is the producer,” the promo continued.
Alfonsi originally spoke out against pulling the segment, alleging the decision was not editorial in nature but instead “political.”
“Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices,” Alfonsi wrote in an internal email reported by NBC News.
