‘Superman’ actor Dean Cain promotes ICE recruitment, sparking backlash<\/p>\n

“Superman” actor Dean Cain urged Americans to join ICE in a new video, highlighting the perks of the job but also sparking backlash from his fans.<\/p>\n

John Leguizamo<\/a> is not a member of the Dean Cain<\/a> fan club.<\/p>\n

The Emmy-winning actor and comedian, 65, joined recent online criticism aimed at the “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” alum, who generated controversy after revealing he works for U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“What kind of loser volunteers to be an ICE officer?” said Leguizamo in an Aug. 8 Instagram video<\/a>. “What a moron. Dean Cain, your pronouns are has\/been.”<\/p>\n

The Colombia-born actor, who’s been a staunch supporter of diverse representation in Hollywood<\/a>, doubled down on his rebuff of Cain in the post’s caption: “#deancain volunteered to be an ice agent! I got one word for you: LOSER!”<\/p>\n

In an\u00a0Aug. 5 video<\/a>\u00a0shared to his social media channels, Cain revealed to fans that he enlisted as an officer<\/a> in ICE, which has faced increased scrutiny amid the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.<\/p>\n

The actor also encouraged his followers to join the controversial federal agency, citing employee benefits such as a $50,000 signing bonus, student loan repayment and enhanced retirement benefits.<\/p>\n

“So, if you want to help save America, ICE is arresting the worst of the worst and removing them from America’s streets. I like that. I voted for that,” Cain said. “They need your help. We need your help, to protect our homeland and our families.”<\/p>\n
