The recently installed editor’s decision to pull a story on Venezuelans the U.S. deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador without due process has the staff ready to ‘revolt,’ sources told The Independent

A 60 Minutes segment on the mistreatment of migrants sent by the U.S. to a Salvadoran prison that CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss made the controversial move to pull just ahead of airtime appears to have leaked online.

Though Weiss moved to halt the original planned Sunday broadcast, users of the Canadian Global TV app were reportedly able to see a copy of the segment, which was soon widely shared online.

The 13-minute clip, which has not been officially verified by CBS, contains harrowing stories of mistreatment detainees said they endured in CECOT, a prison in El Salvador where the U.S. deported hundreds of individuals without due process it accused on little evidence of being Venezuelan gang members invading the U.S.
