The latest episode of South Park has ignited yet another wave of controversy, with the latest episode, which is aimed at the US government's immigration policies.
The second episode of the new season goes even further than its politically charged premiere.
The episode, which aired this week, opens with a scene where Mr. Mackey, the South Park elementary school counselor, loses his job and, in a desperate attempt to make money, joins the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
As part of his new role, he participates in a raid on the production set of Dora the Explorer, a moment that sends shockwaves through the fictional universe.
The show pulls no punches in its critique of ICE, mocking the agency’s controversial immigration raids by depicting Kristi Noem, head of Homeland Security, shooting multiple puppies and carrying out a raid on heaven itself.
South Park’s version of Noem is shown making a chilling remark: “If it’s Brown, it goes down,” as the episode critiques the agency's treatment of immigrants and its controversial policies.
The plot thickens when Mackey, who is praised for his work in the Dora raid, is sent to Mar-a-Lago as a reward. There, he is offered a threesome with Satan and Trump, with the episode further mocking the 79-year-old's alleged ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In a particularly bizarre turn, Dora, now working as a ‘masseuse’ at Mar-a-Lago, is forced into a traumatic situation, though she eventually escapes.
The storyline seems to take a jab at rumors that link Trump to Epstein's sex trafficking operations, drawing a thinly veiled parallel between the fictional events and real-world controversies.
This latest South Park episode, which aired on July 28, continues the show’s tradition of drawing sharp, often controversial political commentary.
The previous episode caused an uproar when it depicted the president lying in bed with Satan, complete with crude jokes about his genitalia.
That episode, which used a deepfake image of Trump’s face on a cartoon body, sparked immediate backlash from the White House.
“This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas,” spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement. “President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history - and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”
Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone responded to the criticism with characteristic sarcasm. “We’re terribly sorry,” Parker quipped at a Comic-Con panel.
Despite the controversy, the latest episode has been widely praised online.
One user tweeted: “The way South Park is dragging Kristi Noem has me on the floor," while another said: "I literally screamed when South Park raided the Dora the Explorer concert."
A third commented: “I have been watching South Park since 1997. I have never seen them bury someone the way they buried Kristi Noem tonight. Trey and Matt are laser-focused on the entire GOP. Buckle up!”
"South Park quadrupled down against Trump tonight with Dora the Explorer giving a massaging to the elite at Epstein.. Err… Mar-a-Lago Island. Some of the ICE stuff was too depressingly on the nose - but the JD Vance cameos “Da Plane! ”& “baby oil for Satan’s b*** hole,” a fourth added.
