Cain says the benefits of working for ICE include a $50,000 signing bonus, student loan repayment, enhanced retirement benefits, and special pay for those in field operations. He claims the agency has arrested 'the worst of the worst,' including 'hundreds of thousands of criminals, including terrorists, rapists, murderers, pedophiles, MS 13 gang members, drug traffickers — you name it, very dangerous people who are no longer on the streets.' Speaking on Fox News Wednesday, Cain told host Jesse Watters that he decided to join after sharing one of ICE's recruitment videos on his Instagram account several days earlier, which Watters had spoken about on his show.

'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,' he said. 'So now I've spoken with some officials over at ICE, and I will be sworn in as an ICE agent, ASAP.' Asked if he would be 'hopping out of ICE vans and apprehending guys,' the 59-year-old responded: 'I will do whatever Director (Todd) Lyons wants me to do. If that's what it takes, absolutely. I somehow doubt I'll be in that position but I would be there in a heartbeat.' Speaking of the latest recruitment drive, an ICE spokesperson told Fox News: 'We've removed any of the age barriers. We no longer have a cap on how old you can be. We'll get you trained and ready to be equipped to go out on the streets and help protect families.'

Cain also said he didn't think he'd be eligible for the $50,000 recruitment bonus, but that he'd 'absolutely' take it if he were. The former Superman is not a fan of this summer's newest film iteration of the man of steel, which was directed by James Gunn and plays up Superman's immigrant story. 'How woke is Hollywood going to make this character?' he said to TMZ in an interview last month. 'We know Superman is an immigrant — he's a freaking alien!' He added: 'The 'American way' is immigrant friendly, tremendously immigrant friendly. But there are rules … There have to be limits, because we can't have everybody in the United States. We can't have everybody, society will fail. So there have to be limits.' He told Watters on Wednesday: '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.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Cain has been a longtime and vocal supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, telling Variety magazine: 'I've been friends with him forever. Trump is actually one of the most empathetic, wonderful, generous people you'll ever meet.' Trump even enlisted Cain to host his inaugural parade, which was ultimately cancelled due to extreme cold.

Keeper hangs up skates on historic career
The pride of Cross Lake has officially retired from professional hockey. Defenceman Brady Keeper announced Tuesday he was hanging up his skates, explaining in a social media post on Instagram Wednesday his decision was made over a lingering injury. 'Back in the 2021-2022 season, I broke my tibia and fibula while in Vancouver. After a long year of rehab during that season and throughout the summer, I was able to come back and play in the 2022-23 season,' Keeper wrote, referencing the time he spent with the Canucks organization. 'But to be honest, my leg never felt the same. Even with continued rehab, the pain remained. The metal rod that was inserted into my knee to stabilize the bone and make it stronger has caused ongoing pain ever since. It's been a constant battle — not just physically, but mentally as well.' Adrian Wyld / THE CANADIAN PRESS FILES Cross Lake's Brady Keeper made his NHL debut with the Florida Panthers in March of 2019. Keeper added that he wished he could continue to play hockey, but his body was preventing him from being able to play professionally. In fact, Keeper had signed with the Glasgow Clan of the Elite Ice Hockey League based in the U.K. in June, marking what would have been his return to the game after the lower-body injury brought his NHL career with the Canucks to an end. In a statement Wednesday, Clan head coach and Oromocto, N.B.-native Corey Neilson said the news was disappointing, 'however, Brady needs to do what's best for his health, and that means allowing him to step away from the game.' Neilson added the club respects Keeper's decision 'and wish him nothing but the best.' The Glasgow club itself thanked Keeper for his professionalism and wished him 'a full and healthy recovery as he moves forward into the next chapter of his life.' Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Keeper, having gone undrafted, made waves in 2019 when he signed with the Florida Panthers. With the deal, the defenceman became the first hockey player from Cross Lake to play in the NHL. MELISSA MARTIN / FREE PRESS FILES Brady Keeper received a hero's welcome from his hometown crowd in Cross Lake in April 2019 after his first season with the Florida Panthers, including a parade. He made his NHL debut on March 28, 2019, against the Ottawa Senators. In April of that year, Keeper received a hero's welcome from his hometown crowd in Cross Lake, complete with a parade after his first season playing with the Panthers. Keeper made his Stanley Cup playoffs debut in the qualifying round of the 2020 Edmonton bubble, playing Aug. 4 of that year. He last skated for the Panthers in the 2020-21 season before being picked up by the Vancouver Canucks as an unrestricted free agent, signing a two-year, US$1.525 million contract. It was in training camp with the Canucks that Keeper broke his tibia and fibula in his left leg. He spent the remainder of his time with the franchise's AHL affiliate Abbotsford Canucks. In 2023, Keeper signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Montreal Canadiens and was ultimately assigned to the Canadiens' AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket.
