On CNN Dr. Phil talked about him joining ICE raids. “I found out some things that I think were knowable, and I think some people are reporting and some are not. First off, this was a multi-agency operation. This wasn’t just an ICE operation. The particular operation I think has drawn all the attention did involve different agencies. There were the ICE was there, U.S. marshals were there, FBI, the IRS was actually involved in this, ATF was there. Not all of the agencies were involved in every operation that went on, but there were multiple agencies involved. And this was pursuant to a search warrant. You know that in order to get a search warrant, you have to present a lot of evidence to a federal judge who has to find probable cause to issue a search warrant. And that was done for a particular company that was alleged or suspected to be involved in criminal behavior. They were alleged to have undervalued their imports, like $ 80 million, underpaid tariffs, $ 17 million, which involved the IRS. So when the raid took place, there were a lot of records seized and they went in and audited the workforce. And I think 40 people were arrested at two different sites for the company at that point because they were illegal. There were criminals included in that group, so it wasn’t just an ICE raid. There were other agencies involved and nobody seems to talk about that very much. Although that information is available. There were other sites that they went to as well. I was surprised of that going in because we have looked at this and, you know, people say, you know, why are you focused on this? Well. Listen, my focus from the beginning has been to talk about things that matter to people who care and that has shifted from pure psychological to the more psychosocial issues. People have become much more aware of what’s going on.”
