Ex-Superman actor says he's becoming an ICE agent

Source: BBC

Ex-Superman actor Dean Cain has announced he is planning to join the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, known as ICE.

In an interview on Wednesday, Cain, who is already a sworn law enforcement officer, said, "I will be sworn in as an ICE agent asap".

It comes after he released a video encouraging members of the public to join following a recruitment drive by the agency, which is behind the Trump administration's ramped-up immigrant deportation efforts.

Cain played the role of Superman between 1993 and 1997 in the TV series, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

Just when you thought you'd seen it all, ICE is taking washed up actors into its ranks.

I gather he was at least semi-sane then, some 40+ years ago.

She dated him when they were both college kids.

His turn into a MAGAt shithead didn't come until over a decade later. He has said that he voted for Clinton twice, and Gore in 2000.

DHS is just making him an honorary member. The problem with that is there is no honor in ICE.
So they will probably just use him for propaganda. He and Kristy can play dress up together.

I also read that his claim to be a police officer and a sheriff were either volunteer or honorary.
But the dude has been in a lot of hallmark Christmas and religious movies
