In December 2025, CBS News faced criticism after '''60 Minutes''' abruptly delayed a completed investigative segment examining the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) prison in El Salvador, where individuals deported from the United States were being held. The segment reportedly focused on conditions inside the facility and the deportation of individuals with no criminal convictions. CBS provided no firm air date for the report, citing internal review, prompting concern among journalists and media critics that political sensitivity surrounding U.S. deportation policy influenced the decision to withhold or postpone the broadcast.<ref name="DailyBeastCECOT">https://www.thedailybeast.com/60-minutes-suddenly-drops-segment-on-major-trump-controversy</ref>

Reporting noted that the delayed segment directly intersected with U.S. immigration enforcement outcomes, as detainees held at CECOT had been removed from the United States through DHS deportation processes. Critics argued that withholding the segment limited public scrutiny of the downstream consequences of U.S. deportation practices and insulated immigration enforcement agencies, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from accountability for conditions faced by deportees after removal.<ref name="GuardianCECOT">https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/cecot-el-salvador-deportees-us-media-censorship</ref>
