Summary
- Pete Davidson returned to SNL to parody ICE in the 1000th episode.
- The skit satirized ICE's mission objectives and performance.
- Davidson, a former cast member, portrayed a stern White House Border Czar.
Saturday Night Live's 1000th regular episode featured a notable guest appearance by former cast member Pete Davidson. He returned to the show to headline the cold open, taking on the role of Tom Homan, the White House Border Czar. Davidson's character was dispatched to Minneapolis amidst ongoing tensions, tasked with clarifying the mission objectives for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unit commanders.
The satirical sketch humorously depicted ICE agents expressing confusion about their purpose, with responses ranging from "Pass" to "Army," and even "Epstein files" when asked about their objectives. Davidson's Homan attempted to refocus the agents on their stated mission of detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes, while also stressing a departure from previous alleged misconducts like racial profiling or intimidation.
Davidson, who was a cast member from 2014 to 2022, has made several cameos since his departure. This appearance on the 1000th episode added another memorable moment to his SNL history, engaging with the show's iconic format in a topical and humorous manner.
