‘60 Minutes’ airs report on Trump deportations that was suddenly pulled a month ago
AI Summary
"60 Minutes" aired a report on Sunday about Trump administration deportations to El Salvador's CECOT prison, a story that had been unexpectedly pulled a month prior. The removal sparked internal conflict at CBS News, with correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi alleging political interference by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. Weiss reportedly felt the story lacked sufficient representation of the administration's perspective and new information. While the aired segment did not include on-camera interviews with Trump officials, it incorporated statements from the White House and Department of Homeland Security, some of which pre-dated the original planned air date. Alfonsi noted that "60 Minutes" had made multiple unsuccessful attempts to secure on-camera interviews with key Trump administration officials since November.
