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.

Mackay’s success as an ICE agent earns him an invitation to meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago, which is portrayed as a Fantasy Island parody — with Trump and Mr. O’Roarke and Vice President J.D. Vance as a tiny subservient Tattoo (Vance has since commented on X about episode, “Well, I’ve finally made it”).

The homeland security secretary decided to act like the insulting portrayal on "South Park" was just an inverted compliment.
