Dr. Phil and his film crew joined border czar Tom Homan and agents on some immigrations raids and livestreamed them on Merit TV, which he founded when his show "Dr. Phil" was canceled in 2023.

The presence of “Dr. Phil” at Chicago federal immigration raids raises questions about the propriety of the operation and highlights a presidency that favors reality TV.
