The edit cut short Noem’s response, which continued on for nearly 30 more seconds.
“This individual was a known human smuggler, a MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife beater, and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors,” Noem had continued in a clip that never made it to air, but that Noem later posted on social media.

Noem said that the network “shamefully edited” her interview to “whitewash” Abrego Garcia.
“This morning, I joined CBS to report the facts about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Instead, CBS shamefully edited the interview to whitewash the truth about this MS-13 gang member and the threat he poses to American public safety,” she wrote in a post on X.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, an Obama appointee, put the deportation on hold until Xinis can hold an evidentiary hearing on a lawsuit Abrego Garcia filed challenging his deportation to Uganda. Xinis had previously ordered the Trump administration to “take all available steps to facilitate the return” of Abrego Garcia to the United States after he was sent to El Salvador.
