This thread, and the leaked CBS documentary, puts Bari Weiss's post-hoc excuses to the lie. It's a thoroughly researched piece on CECOT atrocities, with on-screen interviews of the torture victims, statements from the administration, and footage from inside the concentration camp.
This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.
It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

New Standing Room Only! Today's episode is about heroes, not villains — though we do take the Democratic leadership to task.
Mamdani's win is no unicorn. In 2026, many young candidates are stepping up and won't be told "don't run" by aging leaders.

The U.S. General Services Administration’s reliance on Dun & Bradstreet's DUNS numbers, for registering federal vendors, was propping up a monopoly. So they (we) did the hard work of building an entirely new unique identifier and ending the use of DUNS. We can do the same thing with The Work Number.

I went to Trump's "Swamp the Vote" website. It forces you to enter your email & mobile number, and opt for text messages, just to find your polling place. It works, but like everything else he does, it has to involve some level of grift.
