CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss' decision to pull the segment from Sunday's episode sparked criticism, including from the correspondent behind the reporting.

The 60 Minutes segment that was spiked by CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss for not being ready is now readily available online, after the network that airs the show in Canada ran the original version of the program and subsequently released it online.

Sharyn Alfonsi, the correspondent who led the reporting on CECOT for 60 Minutes, said the story went through the normal editorial processes before it was scheduled to air. That process includes receiving approvals from the Standards and Practices team at CBS News, and from the network’s attorneys.

Minutes viewers in Canada were able to screen the pulled segment criticizing Trump after Global TV uploaded the original episode.

A '60 Minutes' segment featuring interviews with deported Venezuelans has appeared online despite being pulled by executives.

CECOT houses hundreds of Venezuelan people deported from the United States without trial. In the 60 Minutes episode, correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi said the reporting team spoke with some of the men who endured one of El Salvador's harshest prisons.

A buried ’60 Minutes’ investigation has resurfaced and the world is watching. A pulled CBS segment, blocked from airing in the U.S., quietly appeared on a Canadian streaming platform and ignited an international firestorm.

The “60 Minutes” story, “Inside CECOT,” featured testimonies from Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration from the U.S. to CECOT, a notoriously brutal prison in El Salvador. Weiss canned the segment on Sunday, just three hours before it was set to air, saying it “wasn’t ready” to be presented.
