Summary
A 60 Minutes investigation revealed that 75% of the 238 Venezuelan migrants deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador’s Cecot prison have no criminal records.
Only 22% had non-violent offenses, and about a dozen face serious charges.
The administration used wartime authority under the Alien Enemies Act to justify the move, despite a federal judge calling the action “bad faith.”
DHS defended the deportations, claiming many migrants are uncharged criminals. Critics, including the ACLU, warn the process bypasses due process and sets a dangerous legal precedent.
What’s the point? CBS has made a mint off of promoting trump. 60 minutes has had a decade to expose his russian ties, his mob ties, his frauds, his rapes.
