CBS's flagship investigative programme, 60 Minutes, has abruptly shelved a high-cost segment examining the controversial El Salvador megaprison housing US deportees, prompting fresh concerns about media accountability and the real price Americans are paying for President Donald Trump's immigration policies.
The iconic newsmagazine confirmed that the segment titled 'Inside CECOT' would be broadcast at a later date rather than its scheduled Sunday slot. The timing has raised eyebrows, coming just days after Trump publicly praised CBS's new owners, the Ellison family, at a rally in North Carolina on Friday.
