RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!
The department was happy to lean into “South Park’s” depiction of ICE before its episode aired.
Now? Not so much.

The Department of Homeland Security has gone silent on South Park after the show’s latest episode brutally mocked Secretary Kristi Noem—despite previously using the show to hype its recruitment efforts.

Noem, 53, was depicted as a glammed-up ICE agent who loved posing for photos, killing puppies, using botox, and arresting anyone who appears Hispanic.

The department—and those associated with it, like ICE—has been equally quiet on social media regarding South Park. That is a reversal from earlier this week, when DHS seized on episode teasers as a way to promote its need to hire thousands more ICE agents.

“Wait, so we ARE relevant?” the official South Park X account replied, adding the hashtag, “#eatabagofd--s.”

1. What's shocking?

"Noem, 53, was depicted as a glammed-up ICE agent who loved posing for photos, killing puppies, using botox, and arresting anyone who appears Hispanic."

Here's a shorter way to phrase that: "Noem, 53, was depicted accurately."

2. It's hilarious.

I was laughing myself silly every time her face slid off and a team of cosmetologists (the weighlessness must make that difficult 😉 ) rushed in to get her back together.
Full of sick, childish, humor (which at 75 I fully identify with) it will go down in South Park history.

[Skittles]

3. what she IS doesn't bother them

but being shown for what she IS offends them greatly

[Deuxcents]

4. I enjoyed it. No one gets a pass in South Park 😆

[Scrivener7]

5. Conundrum: I'm dying to see it, but then I'd have to subscribe to Paramount!

[BidenRocks]

7. I watch a day later on Comedy Central.

[Scrivener7]

8. True confession: I watched the first episode of the season on Dailymotion.

[question everything]

18. Thank you! Managed to find the whole thing on dailymotion. Vance as Herve Villichez!!!!

[MayReasonRule]

30. Perhaps Engage In Reasoned Civil Disobedience In The Safety Of Your Own Home...

Proton VPN and Stremio allow one to watch without giving Paramount a damn dime!

[Scrivener7]

31. Never heard of Streamio. That looks awesome. Thanks.

[MayReasonRule]

32. You're Welcome! My Honey And I Protest Via Civl Disobedience From The Safety Of Our Home Every Day!

[BidenRocks]

6. She killed Krypto!

YOU BASTARD!!

[slightlv]

9. I watched the first one, but doubt I'll watch this one.

I'm so tenderhearted that seeing her shoot even animated, comic dogs would hurt too much, given all the pain that is being borne by all critters, including us 4-leggeds. This one I'll have to pass on; of course, it'll also be the one that ends up driving them off the network under trump's executive edict.

[calimary]

16. I know how you feel. Even the little bit they did show kinda shook me up.

NO killing dogs. Not even cartoon dogs. Or cats and other critters, for that matter. Not for me, anyway.

[Hornedfrog2000]

19. I think thats the point,

And a lot of people probably dont know she shot a puppy, or says she did.

Side note, how are republicans not in a tizzy about the show "hunting wives" on netflix? I mean, if you want an accurate depiction of republicans, there it is. I told my girlfriend i couldnt watch it because it was making me too uncomfortable.

[Tree Lady]

20. I know my husband is wondering

Why they aren't in Guantanamo prison already.

[twodogsbarking]

10. It is an ethnic attack on Latinos/Hispanic. Adout 25% of the poplulation.

They know where to go. It's e z.
If your name ends in "e z" you are first on the list.

[Beaverhausen]

11. Stuns them into silence? oh come on

That's ridiculous.

[BattleRow]

12. That requires a helluva lot of stun guns and tasers ..

[Gimpyknee]

13. I'm sure it will make them change their ways.

Not!

[BidenRocks]

14. Maybe it made them think, M'Kay?

We know patriotism (?) has a price.
$50K
I am an American Citizen, not a patriot!

It's a meaningless word.

Maybe read that pledge of allegiance. To The Flag! To the Republic. No chump!

[Demovictory9]

15. Lol

[spike jones]

21. In years past in Seattle "a bag of dicks" referenced getting a bag of hot dogs from Dicks Drive-in.

[The Wizard]

22. A blistering critique of fascism and gratuitous cruelty.

[JT45242]

23. Watched it...these first two episodes of the year are both exceptional

From the stabs at charlie Kirk and other right wing hucksters to the Noem skewering, to the ever expanding Mr. Mackey "nut" -- this was spot on.

The cowards who fired Colbert now owe the makers of South Park over a billion dollars...expect more of this with every episode.

[eppur_se_muova]

24. Well, it is a "depiction", not a parody.

A parody would have to include some exaggeration. None here.

[republianmushroom]

25. Love it.

America's Gestapo, what a shame for this country.

[underpants]

26. I've seen two clips and they are both hilarious and true

[Initech]

27. That's not shocking - that's who Kristi Noem really is.

And I wouldn't be surprised if she was the kind of person who shoved kids into lockers in high school, then got away with it by playing the Jesus card.

[The Madcap]

28. I loved it...just absolutely spot-on

I only saw part of the episode, but it was the key Noem parts. Too bad for her...it hurt her poor widdle feewings.

Time for them (and other satirists) to really go on the attack and not hold back.

[Bayard]

29. LOL all the way through it

Especially Noem's face running around like Alien. Also notice the portrait of trump in the ICE office. Its not farce--its a documentary!

Mmm-kay?

[Emile]

33. I watched it yesterday. Funny as hell. The school guidance counselor gets fired

and joins ICE.
