Saturday Night Live‘s cold open featured Pete Davidson returning as “Border Czar” Tom Homan with a blunt message to ICE unit commanders following the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis.

On Saturday, January 31, Davidson — who left SNL in 2022 after Season 47 — attempted to remind ICE agents of the actual goal behind their deployment in Minnesota and other U.S. states. The skit marked a break from James Austin Johnson playing President Donald Trump following backlash over “tone deaf” coverage of the killings.
