Ill., on Tuesday slammed the decision to grant TV host Dr. Phil McGraw, a psychologist, access to the raids Sunday in Chicago, which McGraw streamed on his channel.

A man being taken into custody during a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid in Chicago found himself suddenly face to face with Dr. Phil McGraw. The TV shrink recently joined ICE deportation raids in the windy city, which he then featured on Merit TV. As the man was being detained, he recognized McGraw, but wasn’t exactly starstruck.

Dr. Phil McGraw, host of "Dr. Phil Primetime" on Merit TV, speaks with NBC News' Tom Llamas about his ride-along experience with U.S. immigration enforcement officers during an operation in Chicago.
