48% : McGraw, a former psychologist who rose to fame alongside Oprah Winfrey and hosted "Dr. Phil" for more than two decades, said he had "embedded" with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to show what he described as the agency's targeted efforts to apprehend "known criminals and terrorists.
42% : On Monday, a group of Quaker congregations sued the Department of Homeland Security over the reversal of a decades-old policy last week that prevented immigration agents from conducting raids in "sensitive locations" -- including houses of worship and schools -- without prior approval. ICE agents took nearly 1,200 people into custody Sunday, the agency said, marking the single largest number of arrests made in a single day since Trump took office.
39% : When McGraw asks the man if he committed the alleged crimes, the man says, "not really." A spokesperson for ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
