Dean Cain, the actor best known for playing Superman in the 1990s television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, announced on Tuesday that he has joined U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to support renewed mass deportation efforts under President Donald Trump.
The 59-year-old actor made the announcement in a nearly two-minute video posted on X.
Cain stated in the clip that his decision to join ICE stems from his commitment to public safety and his belief in the importance of securing the nation’s borders.
“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,” Cain said in the video.
Cain praised ICE’s operations since Trump’s first term, emphasizing the agency’s role in arresting and removing individuals with serious criminal records.
“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,” he said.
Cain wore a black American Sniper T-shirt in the video while explaining his motivations for joining the federal agency.
He highlighted the benefits being offered to new ICE recruits, including a $50,000 signing bonus announced recently by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
He also pointed out that a college degree is not required to apply.
“You can get to work right away,” he said.
Cain encouraged others to explore joining ICE, calling it an opportunity to make a real difference.
“So if you want to help save America, ICE is arresting the worst of the worst and removing them from American’s streets. I like that. I voted for that,” he said.
“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.”
His announcement quickly gained attention online, with social media users raising questions about his age and eligibility.
Federal law enforcement agencies, including ICE, typically have a maximum recruitment age of 37.
Cain, who is 22 years older than that limit, did not provide specific details about how he qualified to join.
The New York Post highlighted that when asked on X about his age exceeding the federal limit, Cain responded, “Perhaps we’ll get that changed…”
Others online criticized his announcement.
One user commented, “Superman himself would be disappointed.” ICE did not immediately respond to media requests for confirmation of Cain’s formal status or role within the agency.
The timing of Cain’s announcement coincides with the launch of “Defend the Homeland,” a nationwide recruitment campaign by DHS to fill 10,000 ICE positions.
The campaign was launched on July 29 by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
Noem announced the initiative as part of a broader effort following the passage of a major Trump-backed funding bill.
The campaign includes incentives such as signing bonuses, student loan repayment and forgiveness and enhanced retirement benefits for both new hires and former agents returning to service.
“Your country is calling you to serve at ICE,” Noem said during the announcement, as outlined by the Post.
“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.”
