CBS Postpones '60 Minutes' Segment on Deportation of Venezuelan Migrants to El Salvador's CECOT Prison

Summary

CBS News has delayed airing a '60 Minutes' segment investigating the deportation of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador's CECOT prison, citing the need for additional reporting.

CBS News has postponed the broadcast of a '60 Minutes' segment titled 'Inside CECOT,' which examines the deportation of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador's CECOT prison. The decision was announced just hours before the scheduled airing on Sunday.
