South Park posts X-rated reply to DHS
The show, which has targeted President Trump in its new season, fired back at DHS later Tuesday, using a hashtag telling the agency to eat a bag of d—s.'
'Wait, so we ARE relevant,' the show wrote on social platform X in response to the original post.
DHS shared a screengrab of the show's trailer, depicting six U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents riding in a black car, to encourage prospective applicants to join the agency, accompanied by a link to the careers page.
'America has been invaded by criminals and predators. We need YOU to get them out,' ICE said on the website.
The department responded the latest post, signaling it only helped with the administration's efforts to recruit more ICE agents.
'We want to thank South Park for drawing attention to ICE law enforcement recruitment: We are calling on patriotic Americans to help us remove murderers, gang members, pedophiles, and other violent criminals from our country,' a DHS spokesperson told The Daily Beast.
The interaction comes just two weeks after 'South Park' mocked Trump in its 27th season premiere, depicting the president in bed with the devil. The White House pushed back on the episode, claiming the show has been 'irrelevant' for over two decades.
The show's creators also recently blasted the looming merger between Skydance and Paramount Global, calling the move a 'sh–show.' The comments came just weeks before the Trump administration approved the $8 billion deal.
The agreement drew controversy after CBS, which is owned by Paramount, settled a $16 million lawsuit with Trump over a '60 Minutes' interview with former Vice President Harris and following the outlet's decision to sunset the 'Late Show with Stephen Colbert.'
The sitcom's latest episode, set to release Wednesday night on Comedy Central, had an animation of a woman resembling DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, with the character holding a gun and wearing an 'ICE' vest.
''Got A Nut': When Mr. Mackay loses his job, he desperately tries to find a new way to make a living,' the show said Tuesday morning on X.

Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel ‘intends to' take over all of Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said his country will forge ahead on its plan to take over all of Gaza, despite widespread opposition — but added that he doesn't 'want to keep it' and pledged to 'hand it over to Arab forces.' 'We intend to [take over all of Gaza] assure our security, remove Hamas there, enable the population to be free of Gaza and to pass it to civilian governance that is not Hamas and not anyone advocating the destruction of Israel,' Netanyahu said in an interview with Fox News. REUTERS The latter distinction would likely mean a country subscribing to Trump's Abraham Accords would be selected by the Jewish state. President Trump has not explicitly given Israel the go ahead to take over the war-torn enclave, Netanyahu said — but the country doesn't need the US' permission to do so. 'He understands it's Israel who's doing the fighting — it's not American soldier,' he said. 'He just says, 'I know Israel will do what it has to do.''
