BLUE PRESS JOURNAL – In a stunning turn of events, a banned “60 Minutes” segment exposing El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison made it to air in Canada before being yanked by CBS News chief Bari Weiss. The exposé, which detailed the horrific treatment of Venezuelans deported by the Trump administration, accidentally surfaced on the Global-TV app in Canada.

Jason Paris in Canada, who spotted the mistake, recorded about 13 minutes of the segment before it was taken down. HuffPost subsequently obtained and viewed the footage, which featured Venezuelans recounting inhumane conditions at CECOT, including violent security handling. Human Rights Watch confirmed most of the detainees had no criminal records, having sought asylum in the U.S.
The unfinished segment ended with “60 Minutes” stating that the Department of Homeland Security declined their interview requests and referred all questions to El Salvador’s unresponsive government. Weiss claimed the piece wasn’t ready due to the lack of administration commentary. The incident has sparked controversy and questions about censorship, highlighting the global reach and power of social media to bypass traditional broadcasting constraints.
