Bill Maher exchanged words with Dr. Phillip McGraw over President Donald Trump’s ICE raids, but the doc wasn’t about to take it lying down.
Leftists hate Trump’s enforcement of federal immigration law, claiming that he is trying to break up families and deport hardworking gardeners and housekeepers. Maher took this line of thinking into a conversation with Dr. Phil, asking him why he was participating in these “unpopular” raids.

“Why are you going on these ICE raids? I don’t understand that,” the HBO host 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.”
“Well, now that’s bulls**t,” McGraw shot back. “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!”
“But that’s not what’s going on,” Maher replied.
“What you’re talking about, I was hearing you in your monologue saying you’ve got these ICE agents with masks on. Yes, well, let me tell you why they have their masks on. Because we actually have legislators who passed laws about immigration and funded those laws to be executed,” Dr. Phil continued. “They actually pay these agents to go out and do this. And now they’re doxxing them. They’re putting their names, their pictures, their addresses of their families on the Internet. They’re putting them on telephone poles. So, of course, they’re wearing masks so they don’t get outed.”
“So people can do violence against their families. The negative actions against ICE agents are up 1,000% in the last several months. 130% violence against them. And why them? 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.”
He went on to claim that he had seen the “files” of some of those being detained in these raids, and he says it absolutely justifies the action.
“They’ve got a rap sheet, 12, 14 different cases long of child predators that they’re taking off the street. These are the worst first that they’re taking off the streets. Who would want them back in their communities?” he asked.
