Pulled ‘60 Minutes’ Report, Briefly Streamed in Canada, Is All Over the Internet Now

CBS News’ Last‑Minute Decision Sparks Online Surge

In a surprising turn of events, CBS News decided at the eleventh hour to pull a ‘60 Minutes’ segment that had been scheduled to air in Canada. The report focused on a group of Venezuelan men who were deported by the Trump administration and subsequently placed in a prison in El Salvador.

Despite the abrupt removal, a short clip of the segment leaked online and quickly spread across social media platforms, forums, and news‑aggregation sites. Viewers and activists alike have been sharing the footage, demanding transparency and accountability from both the U.S. and Salvadoran authorities.

Critics argue that the decision to suppress the story raises questions about editorial independence and the handling of sensitive immigration issues. Meanwhile, the viral clip continues to gain traction, keeping the conversation alive well beyond the original broadcast window.
