Dr. Phil Joins ICE Raids in Chicago: Controversial Move Sparks Public Outrage
As federal agents prepared to fan out in Los Angeles for a controversial immigration crackdown, the officers were greeted by a familiar face: Dr. Phil McGraw. The television personality and his film crew joined border czar Tom Homan and agents on some immigration raids and livestreamed them on Merit TV, which he founded when his show “Dr. Phil” was canceled in 2023.
Dr. Phil’s decision to embed himself with law enforcement in Chicago to film a series of migrant raids amidst the Trump administration’s immigration crackdowns has sparked public outrage and controversy. Many people were stunned to see the former talk show host take center stage in ICE operations.
Former TV talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw announced on social media he was “embedded” with an ICE team in Chicago as raids began. McGraw released video showing him interviewing the Trump administration’s immigration officers and joining them in the deportation raids in Chicago.
In a surprising and controversial move, Dr. Phil McGraw, the well-known television personality and psychologist, has received mixed reactions from the public, advocacy groups, and media critics for his involvement with ICE raids. This decision has sparked a wide range of reactions and discussions regarding the ethics of media personalities taking part in law enforcement activities.
