Dr. Phil McGraw is going to be “embedded” with President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, to observe and conduct deportation raids in Chicago alongside ICE this week.
He started tonight, joining Tom Homan to arrest several illegal immigrants, who have been found guilty on charges relating to children.
The first arrest of the night was a convicted sex offender and child predator from Thailand.
All of it was captured on camera, with Dr. Phil shadowing.

Prior to joining ICE on the streets, Dr. Phil asked Tom Homan some questions about the raids.
Amid reports from the fake news MSM about ICE raiding elementary schools, Dr. Phil asked Tom Homan, point-blank, whether or not that was true (spoiler alert: it’s a big fat NO.)
Here’s how Homan responded:
LIVE NOW: Dr. Phil and @RealTomHoman are in an ICE Command Center in Chicago.
Dr. Phil: Are you going into schools and arresting children at schools?
Tom Homan: No.
Dr. Phil: Is anything like that happening?
Tom Homan: No sir. pic.twitter.com/ELvIDDM6SN

Deadline reported on Dr. Phil’s mission:
Dr. Phil McGraw said on Sunday that he’s embedding with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials as they conduct what federal officials are calling “targeted operations” to enforce immigration law in Chicago.
In a post on X, McGraw said that “it’s a pretty high risk mission we’re going on. This truly is a targeted ICE mission, because they’re not sweeping neighborhoods like people are trying to imply.” He said that ICE has identified 270 “high value targets.”
“These are known criminals and terrorists,” McGraw said. “We’re talking about murderers, child traffickers, child rapists. We’re talking about bad actors, both in the countries they’ve come from, and since they’ve been here in the United States.”
Daily Beast added:
Television personality Dr. Phil scored exclusive access to the start of President Donald Trump’s long-promised mass deportation efforts on Sunday, and he made sure to get it all on camera.
ADVERTISEMENTThe longtime talk show host, whose full name is Phil McGraw, aired live coverage of a series of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Chicago on his streaming platform MeritTV over the weekend.
He was joined by Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, who was recently appointed acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“It’s a pretty high-risk mission that we’re going on,” Dr. Phil said in one video, claiming that the operation was aimed at capturing over 200 “high-value targets,” or people with criminal histories.
“This truly is a targeted ICE mission because they’re not sweeping neighborhoods like people are trying to imply,” he said. “I know that because I’ve been involved in this.”
ICE said it began conducting “enhanced targeted operations” alongside partner agencies in Chicago on Sunday “to enforce U.S. immigration law and preserve public safety and national security by keeping potentially dangerous criminal aliens out of our communities.”
