    Pete Davidson Returns with Biting Political Comedy<\/h2>\n

Davidson’s character addressed a group of confused ICE agents<\/b> in Minneapolis, attempting to clarify their mission objectives in a meeting that quickly descended into absurdity. The sketch highlighted recent controversial actions at the immigration agency.<\/p>\n

    Davidson began with trademark sarcasm, saying he wanted to stress that Greg Bovino’s dismissal<\/b> wasn’t because he did a bad job or lied about shooting an American citizen or dressed like a Nazi.
