Former Superman actor Dean Cain is facing backlash after he announced that he has joined ICE, to help Trump’s administration deport illegal immigrants.
“I’m actually … a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer,” he said during an interview on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime.
“I wasn’t part of ICE, but once I put that [the recruitment video] out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy. So now I’ve spoken with some officials over at ICE and I will be sworn in as an ICE agent ASAP.”
JOIN ICE!!

Cain was one of the hottest actors in the 90s after starring as the superhero in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and is a loyal Trump supporter.
Cain faced some backlash online, but one of the loudest voices was from Hollywood actor John Leguizamo, who called him a “loser” for joining the controversial governmental branch.

“What kind of loser volunteers to be an ICE officer?” Leguizamo said in the below clip. “What a moron. Dean Cain, your pronouns are has/been.”
