Dr. Phil and Tom Homan are breaking down immigration barriers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
According to the New York Post, Dr. Phil McGraw joined up with ICE officers during a deportation operation that was aimed at 270 “high value” individuals.
In a video for MeritTV, McGraw debunked the idea that ICE was going into schools and businesses and causing a ruckus to deport people. He also shared his personal sentiments about ICE as well.

“We’re being very careful to protect everybody out there…this narrative that they’re out sweeping and picking up people indiscriminately is absolutely untrue. Absolutely untrue. These are a lot of investigations happening that they’re targeting individuals that have criminal histories and are a danger to the community, and they’re making communities safer when they take them off the street. And God bless them for doing so,” McGraw says.
McGraw went along on this ICE operation with Tom Homan, former director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and nominated Border Czar in the Trump administration, in Chicago with the intent to see true criminals caught and stopped from their schemes, including to place an end to the large human trafficking epidemic.
“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,” McGraw says.
“There are over 300,000 missing children,” McGraw says. “Some of them have been trafficked into sweatshops, prostitution, really bad outcomes for these children.”
McGraw has become more outspoken over time about his conservative and Christian values, with this ICE operation being his latest, most vocal discussion. In 2024, McGraw spoke at Ed Young’s Fellowship Church, a megachurch based in Grapevine, Texas, where he talked about the power of the family unit.
“The church brings something to the family unit that causes cohesion,” McGraw told the congregation. “That causes values to be thought of and talked about and prayerfully considered. If there’s regularity to it, then there’s a constant reminder of those things.”
