Overview

  • Dr. Phil McGraw and his Merit TV crew joined federal agents on Friday to film footage for a special “Dr. Phil Primetime” report during the Los Angeles operations.
  • The raids led to the detainment of dozens of migrants and provoked large-scale demonstrations that have turned confrontational with police.
  • President Trump authorized National Guard deployment after viewing live images of unrest, marking an unprecedented use of military support for domestic immigration enforcement.
  • Senior officials like Tom Homan and Kristi Noem have amplified ICE’s actions through Fox News appearances and posts on X to shape public perception.
  • California leaders, including Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom, have condemned the federal intervention and warned the Guard presence is worsening tensions.
