South Park is not done taking shots at the Donald Trump administration, and its latest target is Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
The official social media accounts for the animated series shared photos of this week’s episode titled “Got a Nut,” in which an animated version of Noem appears fully stylized and fully glammed, posing with a gun in front of a Border Patrol van.
In the episode, Mr. Mackey loses his job and “desperately tries to find a way to make a living,” reads the logline.
Mackey is the school counselor at South Park Elementary and is seen in the preview photo with a vest portraying an ICE agent next to Noem.
The second episode of Season 27 is set to premiere at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday on Comedy Central.

Noem is the former governor of South Dakota and a faithful Trump supporter, who got national attention when she published a memoir in which she confessed to having shot and killed her family dog for being “untrainable.” Although for many, this would have been the end of her political career, in the Trump administration, that doesn’t apply, and MAGA loyalist Noem found herself on the national stage again.
Noem was nominated by then-President-Elect Trump to serve in his cabinet as DHS Secretary and was confirmed by the Senate in January. Since serving in that role, Noem has carried out Trump’s immigration policies in deporting undocumented immigrants. Noem is often referred to as “ICE Barbie” or “Homeland Barbie” for appearing glammed up and never missing a photo opportunity.
South Park premiered Season 27 on July 23, mocking Trump in bed with Satan, which seemingly offended the White House resident. Despite the President of the United States lashing out at the long-running animated series, other areas of his administration embraced the parody. The official DHS X account used a still of the upcoming episode to promote a job opening:
