After skewering President Trump, next on South Park's list of targets is Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In a promo posted Tuesday, the animated series revealed that the second episode of this season, out Wednesday, would feature ICE agents rampaging through the city, much as they have been doing in real life thanks to the Trump administration's mass deportation agenda. It wasn't long before the Department of Homeland Security took an image from that promo, showing masked ICE agents in a car, and posted it on X along with a link to ICE job postings. "We want to thank South Park for drawing attention to ICE law enforcement recruitment," a DHS spokesperson said in a statement to Newsweek.

South Park quickly responded, posting, "Wait, so we ARE relevant?" along with a vulgar hashtag. The "relevant" comment was, of course, a reference to the White House's angry response to the show's season premiere, which, among other things, showed Trump in bed with the devil, the Hill reports. And both the president and Satan will make an appearance again on Wednesday's episode, which apparently centers around the character Mr. Mackay losing his job and deciding to get a job as an ICE agent, per the Hollywood Reporter.
