(21,470 posts)The story of three Venezuelan men branded as gang members by the Trump administration and deported to CECOT, a maximum-security prison in El Salvador notorious for its harsh conditions.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate.
This short documentary tells the story of three Venezuelan men Juan José Ramos Ramos, Andry Blanco Bonilla and Wilmer Vega Sandia who were branded by the U.S. government as Tren de Aragua gang members and deported by the Trump administration to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), a prison in El Salvador notorious for its brutal conditions. All three men said they had no connection to Tren de Aragua and were not gang members. In U.S. government data ProPublica obtained, none were flagged as having a criminal conviction or pending charges.
The documentary details what the men say they experienced inside CECOT beatings, humiliation and abuse and explores the lasting trauma of the ordeal on them and their families.
The producer for "Surviving CECOT" is Gerardo del Valle. The senior producers are Frank Koughan and Lisa Riordan Seville. Almudena Toral is ProPublicas executive producer and ProPublicas editor-in-chief is Stephen Engelberg. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.

(1,806 posts)We are seeing what certain elected and APPOINTED officials really feel about HUMANS! The people who know this is happening but never have to watch it are less than 1% removed from the inhuman guards who willingly do this to other humans. They are not humans in any sense if the word.
I would hope and ask that in 2029 when the Democrats take back all three offices, those in the Trump Administration, all of them, are rendition-ed to the same places to suffer the same fate. Does this make me as bad as they? Probably. But I use it as justification and nothing, no matter what your beliefs are, can change my mind that the degenerates who allowed this to happen should suffer the same fate. Whether this makes me as bad , I don't know and don't care. Treating vermin like these under trump don't deserve respect. They need to experience what they have provided for others.
I'm sick to my stomach of what has been done and is being done to any human by these soulless fiends for any reason. However there comes a time when "going high" doesn't matter to any of them. They feel they can be as inhuman as possible and if they get caught, will rely on the "human" feelings of those us who feel some inward or religious reason to treat them humanely. They know this. That's a reason they don't care. They know the "bleeding hearts" will claim to be above this. Too many here in this country and here on DU can claim we don't do this. Until you've seen this with your own eyes, you have no idea how evil these people are and trying to reason with them or hope they will repent shows amazing ignorance of human nature.
Letting them go for any altruistic reason is like saying you are ok with what they did. You then can ONLY HOPE they will never do it again. But the only way to make sure of that is to make sure those who would treat others this way know they will be treated the same. And they WILL do it again WHEN they get the chance unless they truly understand they will become the recipients. Reason must be given to them to make sure they or others will NEVER engage in this behavior again.
You can take your so called humanity until someone you know or are related to undergoes what these animals do and have done to other humans.
Don't like this comment? Tough shit. Just don't ever complain if it happens to you or someone you love. Because if NOTHING is ever done to stop this, they WILL do it again and again. These "people" are not human and don't deserve to be humans.
To paraphrase Dostoevsky - if by torturing to death one of these "people" would stop this from happening ever again, could you do it? I know my answer. Live with yours.

(8,880 posts). . . is that because CBS pulled it, and then it leaked, the segment will now likely get a much wider viewership than it would have had CBS simply allowed it to air as scheduled! And it serves CBS and Bari Weiss right!

I'm stunned this was pulled. Not because of how "bad" it was for drumpf, but honestly because the report could have gone SO MUCH farther. It does not touch much at all about the reasons drumpf even created this relationship with CECOT in the first place. The reasons are clear.... the administration wants immigrants to suffer, and there is no better place to make that happen, in their eyes, than CECOT.
The piece focuses mostly on the deplorable conditions and the work being done by some (in my eyes) heroic Berkley students to expose those conditions.
I point these things out not as a complaint, but as a simple acknowledgment that if this piece was focused solely on the politics of Rubio, drumpf and Noem it would have looked a LOT worse for the administration, and yet despite that fact, Weiss STILL killed it. As I've said elsewhere on the board, Weiss should be given the title of White House Press Secretary, because she is doing far more to work as a mouthpiece for the administration that Levitt is.

(174,967 posts)CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss' decision to pull the segment from Sunday's episode sparked criticism, including from the correspondent behind the reporting.
Postponed '60 Minutes' segment on Salvadoran prison is streamed by Canadian outlet www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The report, titled Inside CECOT, appeared on a streaming app owned by Canadas Global Television Network. In the U.S., its broadcast was postponed by CBS under its new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss......
Inside CECOT was reported by correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who was critical of the decision to delay the segments broadcast. In a note to colleagues seen by NBC News, she accused the network of pulling the segment for political reasons.
In the note, she said it was pulled because the Trump administration refused requests for comment a standard that she said, if adopted, would amount a government kill switch to stop publication of a story.
Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices, Alfonsi wrote in the note.
It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one, she said.
