None of the sources counts how many 60 Minutes segments on migrants or deportations have aired in the last two years, so the figure of over 100 cannot be checked.

What we found

Context. Several 60 Minutes segments on deportations and migrants are documented, including the January 18, 2026 Alfonsi report and the October 25, 2026 'Destination: Nowhere' episode.[1][2][3][4]

Context. No source gives a count of 60 Minutes migrant-family exposés over any period, so the 'over 100' figure is neither confirmed nor refuted.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Context. The only source that uses the 'hundred plus' phrasing is the claimant's own podcast transcript, which cannot corroborate the claim.[7]
