"South Park" is keeping its focus on President Donald Trump.

The Comedy Central series has released a preview for its next episode, indicating the show will spoof Trump's law enforcement crackdown in Washington, D.C.

The clip shows the recurring character Towelie, a talking towel who originated in a 2001 episode, arriving on a bus to the nation's capital, only to find it's swarming with troops and military tanks.

"This seems like the perfect place for a towel," he says as a tank passes by the street outside of the White House.

Earlier this month, Trump deployed hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., in what he described as a crackdown on rampant crime. Mayor Muriel Bowser has pushed back on Trump's claims, saying that the capital is "not experiencing a crime spike."

The "South Park" episode, which is set to air on Wednesday, Aug. 20, is titled "Sickofancy," and the synopsis simply reads, "Towelie goes to Washington, D.C." The show has recently been nabbing strong ratings and drawing heat from the White House, with a season that has featured unusually pointed criticism of Trump and his administration.

It started in the Season 27 premiere, "Sermon on the 'Mount," which depicted Trump as a thin-skinned bully who is the lover of Satan. The episode also mocked Trump by showing a live-action version of him removing all of his clothes as part of a public service announcement.

White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers slammed "South Park" in a statement provided to USA TODAY on July 24, saying the show "hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention."

But the show doubled down in the following episode, "Got a Nut," which featured more Trump jokes. The president was again shown as Satan's lover and, as part of a spoof of the ABC series "Fantasy Island," was depicted physically and verbally abusing Vice President JD Vance. Vance issued a succinct response to his depiction, writing on X, "Well, I've finally made it."

The episode "Got a Nut" additionally spoofed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, showing her repeatedly shooting dogs. It also mocked her appearance by having her face slide off and move around by itself like a horror film. Noem fired back on "The Glenn Beck Program" podcast on Aug. 7, saying that "it's so lazy to make fun of women for how they look."
