John Leguizamo slams Dean Cain for joining ICE: ‘Your pronouns are has/been'
John Leguizamo had some choice words for Dean Cain after the actor revealed he joined US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to 'help save America.' On Tuesday, Cain — who played Clark Kent on ABC's 'Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman' alongside Teri Hatcher's Lois Lane from 1993 to 1997 — revealed that he's rolling up his sleeves to support President Trump's mass deportation efforts. The announcement was soon met with a fierce response from the 'Ice Age' star, who hit out at the actor in a social media post Friday. Advertisement 5 John Leguizamo had some choice words for Dean Cain after the actor revealed he joined US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to 'help save America.' @johnleguizamo / Instagram 'What kind of loser volunteers to be an ICE officer?' Leguizamo, an ardent Trump critic, said in an Instagram video. 'What a moron. Dean Cain, your pronouns are has/been.' On Sunday, the Emmy and Tony winner further doubled down on his stance by posting a fake DVD case with Cain's photo on it with the title, 'AGED ICE.' Advertisement 'More like 'Dean needs a cane' amiright?' he captioned his Instagram Story. Cain, 59, last week shared the news in a recruitment-style video on social media while urging others to join him in booting illegal migrants from the country. 'For those who don't know, I am a sworn law enforcement officer, as well as being a filmmaker, and I felt it was important to join with our first responders to help secure the safety of all Americans, not just talk about it, so I joined up,' Cain said in a nearly two-minute video on X. Advertisement 'Since President Trump took office, ICE has arrested hundreds of thousands of criminals, including terrorists, rapists, murderers, pedophiles, MS-13 gang members, drug traffickers, you name it — very dangerous people are who are no longer on the streets.' 5 Cain last week revealed that he is joining ICE to 'help save America.' X/@RealDeanCain 5 The actor said he's supporting President Trump's mass deportation efforts. Michael Brochstein/Zuma / The actor raved about the agency's 'great benefits and pay' — and touted the $50,000 signing bonus announced last week by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Advertisement 'So if you want to help save America, ICE is arresting the worst of the worst and removing them from American's streets,' he said, adding that no college degree is required, meaning 'you can get to work right away.' 'I like that. I voted for that. They need your help, we need your help, to protect our homeland and our families. So check into it and join today if it's something that tickles your fancy because we can use you.' Cain's video was met with resistance almost immediately, with some commenters noting that the actor is 22 years over the federal agency's maximum recruitment age of 37, casting doubt on the legitimacy of his latest public reveal. 'Perhaps we'll get that changed…' Cain said in response, shortly before Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin revealed that the agency has waived the age limit to allow for new applicants. 5 Cain played Clark Kent on ABC's 'Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman' alongside Teri Hatcher's Lois Lane from 1993 to 1997.

AFP via Getty Images Advertisement McLaughlin told The Post that Cain is expected to be sworn in as an honorary ICE Officer in the coming month. The actor's endorsement comes a week after DHS launched 'Defend the Homeland,' a nationwide recruitment campaign aiming to hire 10,000 new agents following the passage of Trump's massive funding bill.

Lakers' LeBron James reveals new off-court ‘addiction'
The post Lakers' LeBron James reveals new off-court 'addiction' appeared first on ClutchPoints. Seems that Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is still his enjoying his summer adventures with golf. James finished the 22nd season of his legendary NBA career this past spring. He continues to shine as one of the best players in the league, cementing his legacy as one of the best to ever play the sport. Summers usually feature James emphasizing the importance of conditioning, which helps assure him that he can remain active for many seasons. This one was different as he underwent surgery to repair his MCL, which he injured during the Lakers' first-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. While he took the time he needed to heal from it, he has been more relaxed as he partook in golf to spend his days in the offseason. That much was the case after he posted a video on his Instagram page that shows how much investment he is putting into the sport. 'Addicted. Yep, I know. I'm sorry,' James said. What lies ahead for LeBron James, Lakers It was a humorous video for LeBron James to post, continuing to have fun in the summer before he reports to the Lakers for training camp in the fall. James is coming off another All-NBA campaign last season. He averaged 24.4 points, 8.2 assists, 7.8 rebounds, and one steal per game after 70 appearances. He shot 51.3% from the field, including 37.6% from beyond the arc, and 78.2% from the free-throw line. His historic efforts at age 40 earned him a spot on the All-NBA second team, an All-Star selection, and a sixth-place finish in MVP voting. James still has what it takes to be a star for the Lakers, who retooled the roster surrounding him and Luka Doncic this summer. They added Jake LaRavia, Deandre Ayton, Marcus Smart in free agency on top of signing multiple two-way deals with younger talents. Title contention is certainly within the Lakers' reach, especially with James and Doncic headlining the squad. Challenges will certainly come their way when they progress through the 2025-26 season, but they have the talent to make noise in the Western Conference.
