Dr. Phil McGraw, known for his daytime television psychology, claims he has no real interest in politics, stating he’s not qualified to discuss it. However, this assertion is contradicted by his actions supporting the Trump administration, particularly in its immigration policies. McGraw has been involved in promoting ICE raids through his show, presenting them in a favorable light and echoing government narratives while ignoring deeper issues. For instance, during a raid that resulted in the arrest of nearly 1,200 individuals, he mischaracterized the operation as targeted rather than a broad sweep.
Additionally, McGraw has facilitated meetings between ICE officials and local government, which have led to changes in sanctuary city laws, increasing collaboration between local law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement. He has also supported controversial claims linking Biden and Harris to a shooting incident, amplifying unfounded conspiracy theories.
Despite his evident involvement, McGraw avoids directly answering questions about his political affiliations, even after attending a Trump rally. His evasiveness raises questions about his sensitivity to criticism regarding his political stance. When confronted by Bill Maher about his role in ICE operations, McGraw dismissed the implications of family separations, despite the ongoing reality of these policies. Critics, including immigration officials, argue that McGraw’s actions serve as a propaganda tool for ICE, undermining his public persona as a family-oriented advocate.
