A new episode of \u201cSouth Park\u201d hit the airwaves Wednesday night, and creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who were raised in Colorado, used Denver as a backdrop to mock the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity taking place this year.<\/p>\n
While the second episode of the season probably won\u2019t garner the same headlines as the first<\/a> \u2014 or a response from Donald Trump \u2014 it\u2019s definitely of interest to Colorado viewers, who will recognize Ball Arena, Larimer Square and the Denver Art Museum (although no Casa Bonita).<\/p>\n Entitled \u201cGot a Nut,\u201d the show\u2019s long-running school counselor, Mr. Mackey, loses his job and joins ICE, which is characterized as a career needing no skills, talent or prior experience. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is depicted as the agency\u2019s dog-murdering leader<\/a>, whose over-Botoxed face keeps falling off and terrorizing people.<\/p>\n Cartoon ICE agents raid Ball Arena in Denver during a Dora the Explorer Live! performance and arrest many of the attendees, seniors and children among them. Thousands of people then show up to protest the raids in downtown Denver, which is unmissable thanks to signs for Larimer Square, the Denver Art Museum and a string of Colorado flags hanging over the street.<\/p>\n In July, real-life federal immigration authorities arrested at least 243 undocumented immigrants<\/a> in the Denver area. The agencies involved didn\u2019t provide a breakdown of convictions or charges for most of those detained.<\/p>\n Wednesday\u2019s episode also took aim at Vice President JD Vance, who appeared as a man-baby sidekick to Trump, and right-wing personality Charlie Kirk, who was billed as a \u201cmaster debater\u201d for his often inflammatory commentary. Unlike Trump, who lambasted the \u201cSouth Park\u201d premiere for<\/a> the way he was depicted, Vance and Kirk appeared to be excited about their cameos.<\/p>\n On X, Vance posted \u201cWell, I\u2019ve finally made it,\u201d<\/a> and Kirk posted \u201cNot bad, Cartman.\u201d<\/a> Kirk also called his portrayal \u201chilarious\u201d when discussing the episode on \u201cThe Charlie Kirk Show\u201d on Thursday. Additionally, ICE shared an image from \u201cSouth Park\u201d<\/a> on X with a link to its job recruitment site. \u201cSouth Park\u201d social media did not respond kindly, quote-tweeting the post<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSouth Park\u201d typically airs on Wednesdays on Comedy Central. However, there was a two-week gap between the first and second episodes, so it\u2019s unclear when the next one will air.<\/p>\n
