Pete Davidson's return to "Saturday Night Live" marked a welcome respite from James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump impersonation, as the comedian took on the role of Tom Homan in a cringe-worthy cold open. Donning a bald cap, Davidson played the "border czar" who was tasked with addressing the bumbling antics of ICE agents in Minneapolis.
Davidson's explanation for the departure of former Border Patrol Commander-at-large Greg Bovino from duty quickly devolved into a nonsensical jumble of reasons, including public lies about shooting an American citizen and dressing like a Nazi – "the president no likey that." The agent's attempts to remind himself of his operation in Minnesota were met with hilariously off-the-cuff guesses from Kenan Thompson, Andrew Dismukes, and Johnson.
As the meeting continued, Davidson tried to impart some semblance of order on the chaotic scene, only to be met with more absurdity. When asked about what ICE agents should be looking for, Thompson replied "Epstein files," prompting Davidson to sarcastically remark that those documents were released as a distraction from this very meeting – an ironic twist.
The out-of-control meeting reached its boiling point when one of the agents suggested that Davidson's tactics might have been part of the problem. In response, Davidson quipped "Don't start thinking now! Drop and give me 20." The situation only became more bizarre, with agent Dismukes offering a parody of a military drill instruction – "three, with knees, girl style?" – in an attempt to defuse the tension.
In the end, Homan's attempt to impose some semblance of order on the scene came down to a single, telling phrase: "try not to get filmed." This was the most sensible advice Davidson could muster in a meeting that had rapidly descended into chaos. As the sketch came to a close, it left viewers wondering just how far Homan's leadership had fallen – and whether anyone at ICE had actually been paying attention during this ill-fated briefing.

The bald cap on Pete Davidson's Tom Homan was hilarious, but what really got me was how his character just threw in the towel and told the agents to try not to get filmed 
. I mean, come on, that's like the ultimate cop-out for a 'border czar'! 
The sketch had all these cringe-worthy moments, especially when Kenan Thompson dropped that Epstein files reference 
. But honestly, it was still kinda entertaining to watch Davidson try to impose order on the chaotic scene. Maybe they should just leave it to him from now on 
. And omg, Andrew Dismukes' military drill parody was EVERYTHING 
! Overall, I'm here for more of this kind of absurd humor 
and kenan thompson's "epstein files" joke tho 
was pure gold 
! Overall, it felt like a well-timed roast that brought some much-needed levity to the table 
.
especially with that bald cap, I die 
. But seriously though, the entire thing felt so realistic... like you could just imagine these ICE agents being super clueless 
. It was like they took all these ridiculous ICE scenarios and just... ran with them 
. And that final line about "try not to get filmed"... classic 
:
what a mess! 
. also, can we talk about how ice agents need to get their act together? i mean, i've seen our school's discipline meeting go smoothly lol 
. It was like he kept trying to fix the mess, but just ended up making it worse. I loved the Epstein files joke tho
