'South Park' Rips Trump Administration After ICE Uses Image From Show For Recruiting Effort

After Homeland Security's X account used a screenshot from the show in an attempt to recruit people to join ICE, the show's X account bluntly responded to call them out.

After the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) used a screenshot from South Park in an attempt to recruit people to join ICE, the show fired back at the Trump administration on X with a short and simple tweet mocking their move.

In a tweet, DHS posted a link for prospective applicants to join ICE and assist the Trump administration amid its nationwide immigration crackdown. The agency included a screenshot from the show showing ICE agents in a clearly marked vehicle.


You can see the post below.

DHS' post came after the Trump administration lashed out at South Park for its season premiere last month that shows President Donald Trump in bed with Satan—Satan's previous lover was the late dictator Saddam Hussein, as shown in South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut—and later depicts him tearing off his clothes in the desert to reveal a tiny talking penis.

The White House, via spokesperson Taylor Rogers, dismissed the show as one that "hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention."

So, when it came time to respond to DHS for using a still from the show to promote ICE recruitment, South Park knew just the message to send:

"Wait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofdicks"

People cheered the show's response.


Others mocked DHS directly.


An unrepentant DHS later said in a statement that it wants "to thank South Park for drawing attention to ICE law enforcement recruitment," adding that "we are calling on patriotic Americans to help us remove murderers, gang members, pedophiles, and other violent criminals from our country."

Regardless of DHS' attempt to spin the matter in their favor, we can expect the agency to butt heads with the show and its creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, again very, very soon considering the show's decades-long record of satirizing American politics and culture.

Get out the popcorn.

One such discussion, led by TikToker Caro Claire Burke, has gone viral on the platform for digging into why young boys are "falling behind" in their education, to the point that many are in favor of boys starting school a year later than girls, and why there aren't more male teachers in the classroom, acting as role models for these young boys.

We all make mistakes, and for most of them, a genuine apology and attempt to do better will make up for them. But sometimes, we make mistakes that even an apology will not make up for.

Still, there are other things, like being bullied, where being apologized to would really help us heal. But for most of us, those well-earned apologies will never come.

Jim Acosta AI Interview Backlash

Former CNN White House correspondent and independent journalist Jim Acosta is under fire after posting a YouTube interview with an AI-generated avatar of Joaquin “Guac” Oliver, one of 17 people killed in the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

The video, which Acosta promoted on social media as a “show you don’t want to miss,” was published on August 4, the day that would have been Oliver’s 25th birthday. It features a digitally resurrected version of the late teen, created with generative AI based on an old photograph. The avatar appears wearing a black beanie and jacket, its expression somber yet unnervingly lifelike.
