Dean Cain, who is known for playing Superman in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, has shared that he is set to join the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after sharing a recruitment video for the agency. The actor made an appearance on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime show, where he talked about his motivations for joining the ranks in order to support U.S. President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration drive.

What Dean Cain said
During his appearance, Dean said, "I put out a recruitment video yesterday, I’m actually a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police office, I wasn’t part of ICE, but once I put that 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.”
‘This is what people voted for’
Dean Cain continued about his motivation to join the organisation and added, “This country was built on patriots stepping up, whether it was popular or not, and doing the right thing. I truly believe this is the right thing. We have a broken immigration system. Congress needs to fix it, but in the interim, President Trump ran on this. He is delivering on this. This is what people voted for. It’s what I voted for and he’s going to see it through, and I’ll do my part and help make sure it happens. Hopefully, a whole bunch of other former officers, former Ice agents, will step up and we’ll meet those recruitment goals immediately, and we’ll help protect this country.”
Trump's anti-immigrant crackdown
Donald Trump took office in January after he pledged to deport millions of illegal immigrants in the US during his election campaign. The intention behind this was to curb serious crimes, he said. The administration has defended the move as a way of quickly removing migrants who should not be in the US, including those with criminal records and convictions.
