South Park mocks White House over Homeland Security ICE post
South Park has fired back at the Trump administration after the Department of Homeland Security used the show to promote Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recruitment, weeks after the White House had labeled the series “not relevant.”
On Tuesday, DHS posted a screengrab from the current season of the satirical animation series depicting ICE agents in patrol cars, with a link to its career site, promoting a $50,000 signing bonus and other benefits.
In response, South Park reposted the DHS message on its official X account, writing, “Wait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofd***s.”
South Park was referring to a White House statement from July where spokesperson Taylor Rogers said: “This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years.”
Newsweek has contacted the White House and the DHS, via email outside of office hours, for comment.
