Overview
- The segment ran Sunday with a new intro and extensive postscript but still no on‑camera interview from a Trump administration official.
- Producers added roughly three minutes of verification and context, including ICE data reviews and clarifications about detainee backgrounds.
- CBS cited ICE figures showing 33 of about 252 Venezuelan men had U.S. convictions, eight for violent or potentially violent crimes, with roughly 70 facing pending charges.
- Written statements from the White House and DHS were read on air, while DHS declined to share full records and characterized such disclosures as a national‑security risk.
- The broadcast followed Weiss’s late‑December hold and a Canadian distribution error that leaked the original cut online, keeping internal editorial tensions in focus.
