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.

The story was pulled from Global Television Network, one of Canada's largest networks, but still ran on the network's app. Global Television Network swiftly corrected the error, but copies of it continued to float around the internet and pop up before being taken down.
