CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN: Superman star joins Trump team notorious for human rights abuses
A former Superman star is ditching his cape to play sidekick to Donald Trump's most notorious goon squad, Christopher Bucktin writes, turning his legacy into a publicity stunt Christopher Bucktin is an award-winning journalist with more than 25 years of experience, the majority of which he has spent at the Daily Mirror. A former Press Gazette Reporter of the Year, he has held senior roles including Head of Features, Head of Showbusiness, and Head of Content, before relocating to the United States in 2013 to become US Editor. Renowned for breaking agenda-setting exclusives, he has reported from the front lines of America's biggest news stories, led investigations into the Trump administration, and exposed key details in the Jeffrey Epstein case. His career highlights include securing the first interview with the Peru Two inside prison, becoming the first journalist to descend into drug lord El Chapo's escape tunnel, and spearheading coverage of Prince Andrew's ties to Epstein. He holds weekly columns in the Daily Mirror, Daily Star and Reach's regional titles. Former Superman turned fading TV actor Dean Cain is ditching his cape to play sidekick to Donald Trump's most notorious goon squad. The 1990s heartthrob announced he's joining ICE - the agency behind family separations, aggressive raids, and a long record of human rights abuses - after casually sharing one of its recruitment videos online. Once lauded for fighting fictional villains on prime-time television, Cain now seems eager to lend his name and face to a real-world operation widely condemned for terrorising immigrant communities. Where Superman stood for justice, Cain now appears to cheerlead for intimidation, turning his legacy into little more than a publicity stunt for a deeply polarising agency. Elsewhere, two Californian women allegedly tried to carjack a couple but stalled - literally - when they realised the getaway car had a manual gearbox. Unable to work the clutch, they solved the problem by kidnapping the husband to drive for them, accidentally turning their crime spree into a chauffeured tour. Over in Wisconsin, office pranks took a dark turn when 35-year-old Joseph Ralph Ross admitted to spiking his co-worker's Coke with Gorilla Super Glue. His plot was foiled when she hid a camera under her desk. The sticky scheme, caught in full HD, earned Ross a felony conviction for 'putting foreign objects in edibles.' The two shared an office at the Wisconsin Exposition Centre, though they clearly did not share a sense of humour. Meanwhile, Ohio lawmakers want to shame job "ghosters." House Bill 395 would create an online registry of applicants who skip interviews without notice. The state says it'll protect employers and unemployment funds, but critics warn it could backfire on job seekers. Nearly 50,000 Ohioans filed for benefits last week, proving ghosting is alive and well. When most widows keep a locket or a photo, West Virginia nurse Angelica Radevski went for something… a little more dermal. After her husband TJ died suddenly at 55, the 35-year-old mum decided the best way to remember him wasn't flowers or ashes — but a framed patch of his actual tattooed skin. Instead of wearing her heart on her sleeve, she literally put her husband's sleeve on the wall. It's not everyone's idea of home décor. A 60-year-old man landed in hospital after following ChatGPT's "diet advice" to swap salt for sodium bromide - a pesticide ingredient. He used it for three months before paranoia and hallucinations set in, convinced his neighbour was poisoning him. Turns out, the culprit was his own cooking.

Joseph Ross is accused of putting Gorilla Super Glue inside his coworker's soda while working at Wisconsin State Fair Park Ross was allegedly filmed committing the offense after his coworker suspected he had been contaminating her drinks The police say the defendant admitted to putting a supplement in his colleague's Coca-Cola drink A man is being accused of putting superglue in his coworker's soda while working at Wisconsin State Fair Park. According to a criminal complaint obtained by PEOPLE from the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office on Friday, March 28, Joseph Ross 'placed a substance in liquid edibles with the intent to cause bodily harm to another person' on March 20. Per the complaint, the victim, whose name is listed as JH, reported the incident to police during a foot patrol at Wisconsin State Fair Park Exhibition Center on that same day. "During the conversation, JH told the Officers that approximately 2 to 3 weeks ago, JH suspected that her beverages on her desk had been contaminated by a chemical substance.' She realized there had been contamination 'due to the strong chemical smell and taste. JH stated that upon consumption of those beverages, she became ill,' according to the complaint, which claimed that the victim did not consent to anyone putting anything in her drink.

Because of her suspicion about the drink, the complaint claims that on March 20 'JH set up a surveillance camera concealed below her computer monitor to see if anyone was putting substances into her beverage.' The complaint adds that JH's camera captured Ross, who shares an office with her, at around 9:52 a.m. putting a foreign substance into her drink. As a result, 'the Officers started their investigation,' the complaint claims. In surveillance footage, Ross was allegedly captured squeezing a liquid substance from a small tube with a white nozzle into a Coke can while wearing latex gloves. Per the complaint, the defendant was then seen leaving the office. On March 20 at around 5:20 p.m, Ross admitted, during an interview with Lt. Rehbein, to putting a supplement in his colleague's Coca Cola. While searching for the latex gloves and substance container in Ross' office, officers were able to find clear protective gloves that were wrapped around a blue plastic cap and a Gorilla Super Glue container. Soon after, Ross was placed under arrest and taken to the Criminal Justice Facility for processing. If convicted for this Class I Felony offense, the defendant could be fined up to $10,000 and/or be sentenced to up to three years and six months in prison. In a statement to PEOPLE, a spokesperson from Wisconsin State Fair Park said the individuals involved 'were employed by a vendor and were not State Fair Park employees, therefore, we cannot comment on employment status.' 'However, since this incident occurred while at State Fair Park, our police department responded, conducted a thorough investigation, and submitted the report to the District Attorney,' they continued. 'Additionally, our police department has issued a 'No Trespass Order' to the individual being charged.' They added, 'While this incident did not happen between State Fair Park employees and did not involve any patrons, we want to reiterate that safety is top priority at State Fair Park, and we take these matters very seriously.'
