CBS News on Sunday pulled a “60 Minutes” segment from its latest episode that was set to highlight conditions inside the notorious Salvadoran prison where the Trump administration has deported Venezuelan migrants.

The decision drew sharp backlash, including from the segment’s own correspondent, Sharyn Alfonsi, who said the decision was “political” in a note to colleagues reviewed by several media outlets.

CBS News announced the change to the episode just hours before it was set to air. An editor’s note on the “60 Minutes” X account notified the public that the broadcast lineup had been updated and that the “Inside CECOT” report would “air in a future broadcast.”
