The Superman actor aims to support immigration enforcement efforts.

Dean Cain plans to join ICE as honorary officer

Dean Cain, famed for his role in Lois & Clark, has expressed his intention to become an honorary officer for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In a recent interview with Fox News, he emphasized his belief in defending America against illegal immigration, stating, "This country was built on patriots stepping up, whether it was popular or not, and doing the right thing." Cain's announcement follows a series of promotional efforts by ICE to recruit new officers, including significant signing bonuses. Though he previously misled some with an Instagram statement suggesting he had directly joined ICE, he clarified that he would be sworn in as an honorary officer in the upcoming month.

Cain's support for ICE highlights a growing trend among public figures openly backing stricter immigration policies. His celebrity status could energize a segment of the public that feels frustrated with immigration issues. However, such actions also risk alienating fans who might oppose the agency's controversial methods. This intersection of entertainment and political advocacy could add a new layer to how celebrities engage with social issues, pushing further into politically charged territories.
