A "60 Minutes" report yanked by Bari Weiss about the "horrific treatment" of detainees deported from the U.S. to a prison in El Salvador has leaked online after appearing on a Canadian TV app. Canada's Global News aired the "60 Minutes" episode without the segment on television, as did CBS, but the network's Global TV app mistakenly uploaded the wrong episode to its streaming app.

Footage of the nearly 14-minute segment circulated on social media despite being pulled from the CBS News schedule about three hours before airtime on Sunday. In the segment, reviewed by Variety, correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi interviewed a man forcibly removed from the U.S. and sent to the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) prison by the Trump administration, despite having no criminal record.

"There was blood everywhere, screams, people crying, people who couldn't take it and were urinating and vomiting on themselves," said Luis Munoz Pinto, a college student in Venezuela who sought asylum in the U.S. He said he spent six months detained by customs, waiting for a decision on his asylum case, before he was deported.

"Four guards grabbed me, and they beat me until I bled, until the point of agony. They knocked our faces against the wall. That was when they broke one of my teeth," Pinto added. CBS News has not yet commented on the leak.
