The piece was blocked from airing by CBS News’ editor-in-chief Bari Weiss over objections of the reporters who put the story together. (Image: Screengrab/60 Minutes/CBS News)
23 Dec 2025 – “Inside CECOT” – Hours before it was set to air last night, CBS News executives pulled the segment, but Canada’s Global TV app received it prior to broadcast.
(If you already know the background of this story, the video is down at the bottom)
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.
(An earlier version of this story had a video that was filmed with someone’s smart phone, this is a broadcast quality version)
