South Park turned its attention to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and ChatGPT on Wednesday, featuring one of its main characters kidnapping a Mexican detainee from an ICE facility.
The latest episode opens with Randy Marsh, a recurring character in the show, filming a commercial for Tegridy Farms, his marijuana farm. However, the filming is cut short when ICE officers show up and arrest his workers and camera crew, a reference to ICE’s raids on marijuana farms in California last month.

“You sons of b****es! Those are my Mexicans!” Marsh says while chasing after the ICE vans.
Marsh uses ChatGPT to turn his farm around, teaming up with his partner Towelie (a talking blue towel), to rebrand his farm as Techridy, an “AI-powered marijuana platform for global solutions.” However, they need the help of “one Mexican” to run this new business, prompting them to raid an ICE facility and kidnap one of its detainees with ChatGPT’s help.
Marsh also sends Towelie to the District of Columbia to convince President Donald Trump to reclassify marijuana on a federal level. The sentient towel discovers the nation’s capital filled with the National Guard, as the president announced he would be cracking down on crime in the city.

Trump said on Aug. 11 his administration is considering a reclassification of marijuana as a less dangerous drug, a change from its current status in the same category as heroin and cocaine. The president said the administration will decide on this “very complicated” topic within “the next few weeks.”
South Park‘s Wednesday episode is the third in a row to poke fun at the Trump administration. Season 27’s first episode, airing July 23, portrayed Trump in a relationship with Satan. Trump dismissed the episode, telling the Washington Examiner on July 25 that he doesn’t know “anything” about the show.
The follow-up episode on Aug. 6 portrayed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as a dog-killer, though Noem poked fun at herself by briefly changing her X profile picture to her South Park parody.
