John Leguizamo Claps Back at Dean Cain for ICE, Says ‘Your Pronouns Are Has/Been’
Actor Dean Cain Joins ICE Support Efforts, Faces Criticism
Dean Cain, best known for his role as Clark Kent on the 1990s TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, has publicly announced his decision to support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He shared a recruitment video advocating for people to join ICE and assist in the agency’s immigration enforcement initiatives, emphasizing the agency’s efforts to remove illegal migrants and citing a signing bonus of $50,000 announced by the Department of Homeland Security.
Cain stated, “If you want to help save America, ICE is arresting the worst offenders and removing them from American streets. No college degree is required—you can get to work immediately.” The actor, who describes himself as a law enforcement officer and filmmaker, encouraged others to consider joining and praised the agency’s role in apprehending dangerous criminals, including terrorists, gang members, and violent offenders.
He also highlighted ICE’s recent accomplishments under the Trump administration, claiming the agency has arrested hundreds of thousands of criminals, effectively removing many threats from communities nationwide. Cain expressed his support for the agency’s mass deportation efforts and said he plans to be sworn in as an honorary ICE officer in the near future.
Public Reactions and Controversy
Cain’s endorsement was quickly met with skepticism, as some commenters pointed out that he is 22 years over the federal maximum recruitment age of 37. In response, a Department of Homeland Security official indicated that the agency has waived age restrictions for new applicants, a policy change that Cain suggested was humorous, saying, “Perhaps we’ll get that changed…”
The actor’s enthusiastic promotion of ICE’s recruitment campaign coincides with a broader government push to hire 10,000 new officers, as part of recently approved funding aimed at increasing immigration enforcement. Meanwhile, Cain’s outspoken stance has garnered both support and criticism, reflecting the divisive nature of immigration policy debates.
