Dean Cain—yes, the 1990s Clark Kent himself—has officially traded his cape for a career in mass deportation. In a video posted to social media, the 59‑year‑old former Lois & Clark star announced he’s joined U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and is encouraging others to do the same. He touted perks like a $50,000 signing bonus, student‑loan forgiveness, and cushy retirement benefits, all while praising ICE’s role in arresting “the worst of the worst” criminals.
Irony alert: Cain insists he’s putting the “Truth, Justice and the American Way” back into the world—because nothing says American superhero values like rounding up migrants—even though ICE statistics show many detained have no criminal record. And let’s not forget: Superman was literally an alien himself.
Cain, a sworn Virginia deputy, sought to inspire Americans to “help save the homeland,” joking that maybe recruitment age rules will bend just for him. Critics pounced—some claiming Cain is “disgracing the red cape.” One quipped, “Superman himself would be disappointed.” Cain fired back: “Not a chance.”
So here we are, decades after he swore by small-town Metropolis values, and now he’s urging people to join ICE’s ranks—because apparently his superhero origin story didn’t include an arc about empathy. Whether you see it as patriotism or tone‑deaf pandering, his legacy just got a very awkward reboot.
