The beef between South Park and President Donald Trump’s administration shows no signs of stopping.
In its Season 27 premiere, South Park lambasted Trump, depicting the president in bed with Satan, giving him a micropenis, and creating a hyperrealistic naked deepfake of him.
Season 27’s upcoming second episode, “Got A Nut,” looks to continue the show’s satirical takedown of Trump’s administration. The episode targets ICE and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
On Aug. 5, the Department of Homeland Security posted a screenshot of South Park‘s depictions of ICE agents on X, along with a link to an ICE recruitment page.
