CBS Faces Backlash After Last-Minute Pulling of ‘60 Minutes’ Segment on Trump Deportations

CBS News has come under fire for abruptly canceling a segment of its flagship show ‘60 Minutes’ that was set to investigate the deportations of immigrants under the Trump administration to the CECOT prison in El Salvador. Staffers have reported that the decision, made by CBS News chief Bari Weiss, has led to an internal outcry, with some employees threatening to resign. Correspondents have characterized the move as politically motivated, suggesting that it undermines journalistic integrity. The segment, which had been approved for airing and screened multiple times, was pulled just hours before its scheduled broadcast, raising concerns about editorial independence within the network.
