Sesame Street Raided by ICE

Following the suspension of Elmo's Twitter account for a series of antisemitic and racist posts blamed on a hacker, Immigration and Customs Enforcement have conducted raids on the beloved puppet's home in Sesame Street.

"They came at dawn," said reporter Kermit T Frog, "grabbing Oscar the Grouch first because he doesn't have a lock on his trashcan. After that, they indiscriminately rounded up everyone and left them on the curb in cuffs. No-one was safe, even the numbers got checked, and only 18 and 88 got treated with any form of respect."

PBS, who show the hugely-popular TV show in the US, said broadcasts will continue with a reduced cast while court hearing are taking place. One producer told us, "Rest assured, Sesame Street will stay on the air. Just like during the pandemic, things will just be slightly different. We've only got ten letters of the alphabet, the ones you need to spell Trump, ICE, and MAGA; and Cookie Monster proved his Americanness thanks to his love of Oreos. However, we are looking at bringing in friends of the show to cover the gaps. Sadly, Miss Piggy will not be supporting us due to her not being Kosher. We also had been offered a cameo by Lambchop, but we had to decline that on account of her being a sock-puppet."
