"Why are you going on these ICE raids? I don't understand that," Maher said. "You're a guy who we know for so many years who has been working to put families together. To bring families who are apart and heal them. And now you're going on raids with people who are literally separating families. Explain that to me." McGraw fired back, "Well now, that's bull****." Replied Maher, "That's not bull****. ... They're not separating families?" Responded the TV doctor, "Look, if you arrest somebody that's a citizen, that has committed a crime or is DUI'd with a child in the backseat, do you think they don't separate that family right then, right there? Of course they do!" Argued Maher, "But that's not what's going on." _ Dr. Phil McGraw went on to defend ICE agents, claiming they've had to wear masks to protect themselves from random attacks. "They didn't make the laws. They didn't make that law. What are you expecting them to do, just not do their job? If you don't like the law, change it. I don't like that law at all. Change the law!" he said. Bill Maher fired back, "If you don't like it then why are you going?" Replied McGraw, "Because that is the law." McGraw televised the action on the ground during the recent ICE raids and subsequent protests in Los Angeles. He also accompanied border czar Tom Homan for a ride-along during the Chicago raids. _ Dr. Phil McGraw has been a staunch defender of Donald Trump's strict immigration policies since the right-winger returned to office. "The problem that we have with some of the pushback that ICE has been getting from sanctuary cities is they're saying, 'No, we don't want to cooperate with you. We don't want to give you access to some of the people that we may have arrested that may be in jails. You need to go get warrants and we may give bail to these people. We may have a no-bail situation and have them in for a time and turn them back out,'" he complained on social media.
