The ICE raids with Dr. Phil have begun.

Yes, Dr. Phil McGraw is out in the field with ICE agents as they conduct raids in Chicago. The longtime TV shrink and President Donald Trump ally has been granted exclusive access to the raids — embedding with border czar Tom Homan and a bevy of agents.

“It’s a pretty high-risk mission that we’re going on,” Dr. Phil said in one clip before heading out in the field.

And some of those scooped up in the raids appear to be confused by why Dr. Phil is there to watch them get hauled away. In footage posted to X late Sunday, Dr. Phil interviewed a man — who he identified as a convicted sex offender and internet predator from Thailand — who was the first to be arrested in the raid.

“You’ve never been deported before?” Dr. Phil asked the man.

“You’re Dr. Phil?!” The man replied. “You look like Dr. Phil.”

“Yeah?!” Dr. Phil responded. “How do you know me?”

“I seen you on Dr. Phil,” he replied.

From there, Dr. Phil tried to probe into the specifics of the man’s case — but didn’t get very far with a detainee who, earlier in the conversation, said “I’m not gonna stand here. I want to talk to my lawyer.”

“You been charged with sex crimes against children?” Dr. Phil asked.

“Not really,” the man said.

“Not really?” Dr. Phil said. “Never been deported?”

“Nope,” the man replied.

“Huh…” Dr. Phil said.

“Let’s take him in, process, and lock him up,” Homan directed the agents — as Dr. Phil and crew packed up and moved on to the next raid.
