Former Superman actor Dean Cain had a meltdown while trying to defend himself and President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement after becoming a target for public mockery for joining ICE.
“The idea that somebody who is not trained would join ICE and join these guys that are putting on masks and jumping out of U-Hauls at a Home Depot and nabbing people, like, it’s a horrible policy. It is un-American,” The Bulwark’s Tim Miller said Monday on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”
Cain has been made the butt of many jokes for his decision. Multiple people online have pointed out the irony that an actor who played Superman in the ’90s TV series “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” would be joining an agency making constitutionally questionable arrests.
Meanwhile, late-night comedians such as John Oliver and Bill Maher have poked fun at ICE’s desperation in hiring the former actor.
Despite the criticism, the 59-year-old Cain praised the agency.
