Dean Cain says he joined ICE ‘to help save America' in support of Trump's immigration crackdown
He's now the Man of ICE. Actor Dean Cain announced Tuesday that he joined US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to support President Trump's mass deportation efforts and 'help save America.' Cain, 59, who played Clark Kent on ABC's 'Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman' alongside Teri Hatcher's Lois Lane from 1993 to 1997, shared the shocking news in a recruitment-style video on social media while urging others to join him in booting illegal migrants from the country.

X/@RealDeanCain '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,' the conservative media personality said in a nearly two-minute clip on X. '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.' Advertisement JOIN ICE!! We need your help to protect 🇺🇸 — Dean Cain (@RealDeanCain) August 5, 2025 The former 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not!' host went on to tout the agency's 'great benefits and pay,' along with a $50,000 signing bonus announced last week by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. He also boasted that no college degree is required, meaning 'you can get to work right away.' 'So if you want to help save America, ICE is arresting the worst of the worst and removing them from American's streets,' said Cain, who was sporting a black American Sniper tee.

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.' Commenters were quick to note that Cain is 22 years over the federal agency's maximum recruitment age of 37, casting doubt on the legitimacy of his latest public reveal. Cain, in response to one critic who snarked about the age limit, said 'Perhaps we'll get that changed…' Advertisement Another user chimed in, writing that 'Superman himself would be disappointed.' 4 ICE is seeking to recruit 10,000 new officers and agents with the passage of Trump's massive funding bill. AFP via Getty Images ICE did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment regarding Cain's enlistment. 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. The agency is offering a $50,000 signing bonus, student loan repayment and forgiveness options, enhanced retirement benefits and more to recruits and retired agents who return to service. 4 Cain said joining ICE will 'help save America.' Michael Brochstein/Zuma / 'Your country is calling you to serve at ICE,' Noem said in the July 29 announcement, blasting the Biden administration for its 'failed immigration policies.' 'This is a defining moment in our nation's history. Your skills, your experiences, and your courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland.'

Cartoon characters on cartoon accents in ‘King of the Hill'
This new 'King of the Hill' features a few voices who weren't around for the show's original run on Fox from 1997 to 2009. Ronny Chieng now plays Kahn Souphanousinphone, previously voiced by Toby Huss, who also played Ted Wassanasong. Ted is now voiced by Kenneth Choi. Ted's son, Chane, is now played by Ki Hong Lee, replacing Advertisement In casting Asian actors to play Asian characters, the 'King of the Hill' team, including series creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge, are acknowledging that things aren't the same as when the series first aired. The practice of using white actors to voice non-white characters — often using exaggerated accents — is now rightfully scorned. Alison Brie, star of the new body horror movie 'Together,' has expressed regrets about voicing a Vietnamese character on 'Bojack Horseman.' This isn't 'woke.' It's evolution and basic courtesy, much like the death of minstrelsy. Advertisement Emilio might see Speedy Gonzalez as a revolutionary, and Mel Blanc was definitely a talented guy. But as Hank Hill might say, that kind of voice casting ain't right. Chris Vognar can be reached at

Advertisement A recent report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that the birth rate in America has dropped to a historic low, falling by 3% since 2022. The rate has steadily declined since 2014, except for a 1% increase from 2020 to 2021. Priorities of young Americans have shifted, likely contributing to the falling birthrate, such as decreased interest in having children and greater focus on career.
