Video posted by the former daytime talk-show host Phil McGraw showed him on a ride-along with immigration agents in Chicago on Sunday as authorities stepped up enforcement operations across the United States.
McGraw, a former psychologist who rose to fame alongside Oprah Winfrey and hosted “Dr. Phil” for more than two decades, said he had “embedded” with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to show what he described as the agency’s targeted efforts to apprehend “known criminals and terrorists.”
Speaking to McGraw in a segment broadcast on the network that the former talk-show host founded one year ago — Merit Street Media — Trump administration border czar Thomas Homan told viewers to “forget the false narrative” that immigration authorities are carrying out neighborhood sweeps that target “people that are a different color than us.”
“Look at what we actually do,” he said.
The enforcement actions come after President Donald Trump promised to carry out what he described as the largest mass deportation plan in U.S. history — and as immigration advocates warn people about their right to due process during encounters with authorities, regardless of their immigration status.
