CNN reports:
As federal agents prepared to fan out in Los Angeles for a controversial immigration crackdown, the officers were greeted by a familiar face: Dr. Phil McGraw. The television personality and his camera crew were embedded with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement when some of the raids took place on Friday.
The footage is being incorporated into a special report on “Dr. Phil Primetime,” a program on McGraw’s conservative TV channel Merit TV, a spokesperson confirmed to CNN. McGraw’s presence on the ground in L.A. reinforces the made-for-TV nature of Trump’s immigration crackdown.
McGraw was on hand Friday “to get a first-hand look at the targeted operations,” according to his channel. He also chatted with Trump’s border czar Tom Homan and taped a promotional interview with Homan.
