A news segment about the Trump administration’s immigration policy that was abruptly pulled from — 60 Minutes ­— was mistakenly aired on a TV app after the last-minute decision not to air it touched off a public debate about journalistic independence.

The segment featured interviews with migrants who were sent to a notorious El Salvador prison called the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, under 
President Donald Trump’s aggressive crackdown on immigration.
