The segment focuses on interviewing 2 men who had been sent to CECOT by the Trump administration. Both are interviewed inside the CBS studio.
There is also an interview with Juan Pappier, deputy director of Human Rights Watch, a nonprofit human rights group. I think Human Rights Watch is anti-China but this guy does say that he's against sending migrants to CECOT.
Then there's a portion with students of the Berkley University's Human Rights Center. The students watch footage of CECOT and talk about observed human rights abuses.
The segment ends by saying that US DHS refused to participate in the episode. US DHS told 60 Minutes to ask El Salvador to answer questions about CECOT.
Bari Weiss has said that the episode was pulled because it did not present the perspective of Trump's administration. The episode says that Trump's admin refused to participate. The implication is that CBS is not allowed to make segments where Trump's admin refuses to comment.
