60 Minutes CECOT

This video is a preserved copy of a completed 60 Minutes investigative segment examining the CECOT detention facility in El Salvador.

The report documents conditions inside the facility, addresses deaths and human-rights concerns, and examines the legal implications of U.S. cooperation with CECOT. Although the investigation was completed by 60 Minutes journalists, the segment was not aired in full following internal editorial decisions.

CECOT has since been publicly referenced by Donald Trump and allied officials as a model or destination for large-scale detention and deportation outside the United States, raising serious concerns regarding due process, extrajudicial detention, and U.S. involvement in human-rights abuses.

This video is archived here in the public interest due to its relevance to immigration enforcement policy and the decision not to broadcast the segment as completed.
