The actor will be sworn in ‘ASAP’ amid the federal agency’s recruitment drive and unprecedented immigration raids that have sparked protest across the US

Former Superman actor Dean Cain has announced he has signed up to join US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), in order to support Donald Trump’s anti-immigration agenda.

The federal law enforcement agency has aggressively ramped up immigration raids since Trump’s return to the White House and was recently awarded $75bn in extra funding as part of the president’s “big beautiful bill”, which includes billions for hiring an additional 10,000 Ice agents by 2029.

Speaking on Fox News on Wednesday night, Cain told host Jesse Watters that he decided to join Ice after sharing one of their recruitment videos on his Instagram account on Tuesday, which Watters had spoken about on his show.

    Through his biological father, Cain is partly of Japanese descent

    Cain has said of his biological father, whom he never met: “He’s not the kind of man I want to be. He was an unfaithful husband and not much of a father.” Source

    Daddy issues causing racism and hatred of immigrants?

      Absolutely nobody thinks of Dean fucking Cain when they think of Superman. Except Dean Cain, probably, but he’s a nobody so my point stands.

        Sadly I do as he was the first live action Superman I viewed as a child. But I do think of him as the worst Superman so I have that going for me.
