Dean Cain, the actor who portrayed the superhero Superman in the 1990s, has announced that he has applied to track down and deport undocumented immigrants in the US.

In a post on his Instagram profile at the end of July, the Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman actor revealed his participation in the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and encouraged other Americans to do the same if they could.
“People need to mobilise. I’m mobilising. I hope that other former officers, former ICE agents, mobilise, and that we immediately reach these recruitment goals and help protect this country,” he stated in the video.
“Our ICE agents, who are incredible men and women, are amazing. And they are Black, brown, green, yellow, Japanese, and everything else. They are a representative sample of Americans,” the 59-year-old actor told Fox News Digital.
“They are doing their job, the job that Congress wrote for them to support and defend, and they are doing the job of deporting people who are here illegally. If you are here illegally, you have already broken the law, whatever the circumstances.”

“You have had several opportunities to self-deport, and the fact that these men and women doing their job are being vilified made me have to stand with them and for them, because I think people need to take a stand to change the culture,” Cain added.
“I know it’s controversial, but I support what they are doing. People approach this from an emotional standpoint rather than the law and what we are trying to do here. And then they don’t look at it critically. […] As compassionate as we want to be, we cannot take in everyone.”
Cain will be sworn in as an “honorary ICE officer” next month, said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security. It is still unclear what his duties as an honorary officer will be.
