South Park Comes for KKKristi Noem and ICE 7AUG25

NEW: Kristi Noem is on a desperate PR campaign, frantically running from one journalist to another, trying to undo the damage South Park did to her reputation. It's backfiring spectacularly. She is completely MELTING DOWN.

If you’re over 37 with dreams of a career set on destroying the lives of immigrants in the United States, we have some news to share: US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has eliminated the age limit for officers.

The move comes amid a series of recruitment efforts as the Trump administration scrambles to meet its mass deportation goals. As Julianne McShane writes, this already includes a signing bonus of up to $50,000, student loan repayment and forgiveness options, and “enhanced retirement benefits.”

In any other line of work, I’ve got to think that such incentives would be well received. (Hell, I might even consider a career switch!) But when it comes to ICE, despite whatever Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claims, the results have so far been disappointing. Morale at the agency is reportedly plummeting; the desperation is so acute that ICE is pulling federal workers from other agencies, including FEMA.

And after that brutal new episode of South Park? Oof. The mood can’t be great at ICE right now. Noem can at least be proud to have attracted one new recruit: a former...Superman.

BREAKING: South Park hilariously trolls fascist Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after she melts down about their mocking portrayal of her as a hideous dog murderer in their latest episode.

MAGA world is furious about this one...

In the episode, Noem is seen repeatedly killing dogs, posing for photos, pumping her face full of Botox, and racially profiling Hispanic people by ordering ICE agents to "only detain the brown ones!”

The dog bit is a reference to Noem's admission in her book "No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong With Politics and How We Move America Forward" that she "hated" her dog Cricket because it was “untrainable” and “less than worthless” as a hunting dog. She lured the pup to a gravel pit where she then executed it with her gun. She bragged about the incident, claiming that it shows that she can do things that are "difficult, messy and ugly."

In the episode, Noem appears in an ICE recruitment video and states: "A few years ago, I had to put my puppy down by shooting it in the face, because sometimes doing what’s important means doing what’s hard."

Throughout the episode, special attention is paid to the face of "ICE Barbie" as it droops and at points falls off completely, a brutal shot aimed at her well-documented vanity. She has garnered a reputation for posing in overtly authoritarian photos in full glam makeup.

During an appearance on Glenn Beck’s podcast, Noem claimed that she has not watched the episode because she has been too busy supposedly reviewing "budget numbers and stuff." Having not seen the episode didn't stop her from whining about it though, and she accused it of being "lazy" and whined that liberals attack women for "how they look."

"But you know, I just think it’s, yeah, it never ends. But it’s so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look. Only the liberals and the extremists do that,” Noem said. “If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t, they just pick something petty like that.”

Rather than issue an apology or back down from their depiction of Noem, the official South Park Facebook page has changed its profile picture to an image of Noem from the episode with her face melting off.

We don't know about you, but we can't wait to see which MAGA figure South Park targets next. It's clearly getting under the administration's skin.

Looks like the adult cartoon isn’t pulling punches against the Trump administration anytime soon.

If anyone was wondering if South Park was going to ease up on the scathing Trump plot lines, this week’s follow-up offered an answer: Hell no.

On Wednesday night, the adult cartoon ripped into the Trump administration yet again, this time targeting JD Vance and right-wing podcast bros. But the episode’s harshest ridicule was directed at none other than Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who is depicted as a wine-guzzling, Botox-loving, puppy-killing, tyrant as the leader of ICE. (The show spends much time ruthlessly skewering the agency, too.)

The episode, in its specific way, holds a comedic mirror to our cruel reality: ICE’s desperate recruitment efforts, an administration hellbent on disappearing immigrants without due process, and “torture.”

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.
