“I'm not a sinner, I'm going to talk to my lawyer,” the migrant said in the video.
Dr. Phil seemed to have remained shocked by what he had seen.
“Again, the downfall, the problem with a sanctuary is that people like it walk through the street instead of law enforcement who work with federal agents,” he said.
“This is what we are dealing with.”
In a separate clip, Dr. Phil with Homan about the arrest are seen.
“He shouldn't even be here, but he does this,” said the television personality, and noted that no one in the community warned the authorities to say: “Hey, there is someone who doesn't even have the right to be here To be on foliage is our children. “”
Homan then agreed and noted that Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson ', the men of ICE want to tackle.
“Ice saved children today and it makes me angry,” Homan said, and said that the governor claimed that federal officials were at a school on Friday, although that turned out to be incorrect later.

Homan said there were 300 goals that identified the federal government in Chicago and its surrounding areas
Among the arrested, sex offenders, convicted murderers and at least five tren were the Aragua members
“He scares children,” Homan said. “He scares the neighborhood and puts fear in the community.
“We do exactly the opposite, we save children.”
Sam reportedly was one of the 300 goals that the federal government in Chicago and its surrounding areas identified, including 150 that had previously been in police detention, Homan told Dr. Phil.
The so-called border Tsar told Newsnations Ali Bradley that several 'public safety threats' were arrested, including sex offenders, convicted murderers and at least five tren the Aragua members.
It was the first raid of the new Trump government into the third largest city in the country, where local and state officials have sworn not to work with immigration officials.
While the raids were underway on Sunday, Mayor Johnson of Chicago even assured the public on social media that the local police were not involved.
Government Pritzker also appeared in the state of the Union of CNN and repeated that the local police will not coordinate with federal officials on the arrest of people without an order.
“Our local officials are not just going to say:” Well, that person seems like they don't have papers, so we're going to hand them over to you and you can find out, “he said.
But he said he agreed that violent criminals who are without papers should be deported.

Homan insisted that the ice raid was the target, with agents who went after specific goals
“Now whatever they do, and it's pretty disturbing is that they go behind people who keep authority, who have families here, who have been here for ten years or two decades and are often our neighbors and our friends,” said the governor.
“And why are we going after them? These are not people who cause problems in our country? “He claimed.
But Homan was in the video with Dr. Phil that the ice ray was a targeted raid.
“We spend a lot of time investigating these people, we know exactly who we are looking for – so it's a target enforcement operation, it's the right thing to do,” he said, and noticed that ice officers are still forbidden to people To go into houses without a criminal arrest warrant.
The Trump administration is reportedly instructed ICE to increase the number of daily arrests
Nevertheless, the number of arrests in the first three days of Trump's presidency represents around 1.1 percent of the total arrests that IJs made in the tax year 2024, when the department made an average of about 310 arrests every day.
Authorities now make an average of around 433 arrests every day, but ICE officials have been dedicated by the Trump administration to increase the number of daily arrests to 1,200 to 1,500, according to the Washington Post.
The newspaper reported that Trump was so far disappointed about the deportation campaign, referring to four people with knowledge of the briefings.
He also wanted Ice Field offices to make 75 arrests every day, in which managers were held responsible for missing their quota goals.
