The “60 Minutes” report about detainees deported from the U.S. to a prison in El Salvador that was held by CBS News appeared on a Canadian TV app, then was leaked online.

The report was held about three hours before air time Sunday.

Footage of the nearly 14-minute segment circulated on social media Monday.

In the segment reviewed by Variety, CBS correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi interviewed a man removed from the U.S. and sent to the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) prison by the Trump administration.
