This Sunday, October 27, 2024, “60 Minutes” will present three compelling stories that span the political and perilous. The episode, airing from 7:30-8:30 PM ET/7:00-8:00 PM PT after NFL football, promises to engage viewers with its investigative depth and topical relevance.

Deportation

Cecilia Vega dives into the heated issue of deportation, focusing on former President Donald Trump’s controversial campaign promise to enact the largest deportation in American history. The segment will provide an up-close look at the operations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Maryland as they target undocumented immigrants with criminal records. Additionally, Vega will interview Tom Homan, who might once again play a crucial role in overseeing these deportations if Trump is re-elected. Homan’s tenure under Trump saw the contentious separation of approximately 5,000 migrant children from their parents at the southern border. This story, produced by Andy Court, Annabelle Hanflig, and Camilo Montoya-Galvez, promises to be a powerful exploration of one of America’s most divisive issues.

Sanctions

The episode also features Sharyn Alfonsi shedding light on the impact of economic sanctions against Russia, more than two years after its invasion of Ukraine. Despite extensive sanctions, Russia’s economy appears resilient, with expectations of growth. Alfonsi interviews Daleep Singh, the strategist behind the U.S. sanctions, revealing new insights into Russia’s economic maneuvers, including oil tankers near Greece evading sanctions. This segment is produced by Lucy Hatcher and will explore the complexities of international policy and its real-world repercussions.

Surfmen

Bill Whitaker takes viewers to the treacherous waters of the Columbia River’s mouth, known as the Graveyard of the Pacific, where he documents the rigorous training of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Surfmen at the National Motor Lifeboat School. This story will offer an inside look at the challenges and dangers these elite members face as they prepare to save lives in some of the roughest waters in America. Produced by Rome Hartman, this segment promises to highlight the bravery and skill of these remarkable individuals.

Each story in this episode of “60 Minutes” not only provides a window into critical and complex issues but also celebrates the spirit of determination and dedication that defines the subjects of these powerful segments. Viewers can expect a riveting hour of television that offers both information and inspiration.
