In a recent episode of his HBO show ‘Last Week Tonight,’ John Oliver made a joke about former ‘Superman’ actor Dean Cain joining the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Oliver mocked the idea of ICE recruiting Cain, suggesting that it was a sign that the agency was ‘f—ed.’ He joked that if ICE was reduced to pinning a badge on the 59-year-old actor, it was a sign that they were in trouble. Cain took to X the next morning to mock Oliver for stealing the mask joke and for laughing at Trump’s presidential ambitions. He also defended his decision to join ICE, saying that he wanted to show support for the officers who were being vilified for their work.
Cain explained that he had joined ICE as a way to support the officers who were being criticized for their role in enforcing immigration laws. He argued that the officers were doing their job and that they deserved to be supported. He also emphasized that he was not untrained, pointing out that he had served as a reserve police officer for nearly a decade. He argued that people should not be treated differently based on their profession, and that he believed that he had the right to care about national security and the work of law enforcement agencies.
During an interview with Fox News Digital, Cain spoke about his decision to join ICE. He stated that he had decided to become an officer in order to support the officers who were being vilified for doing their jobs. He argued that the idea that people should be able to self-deport was not a valid one, and that those who were breaking the law should face the consequences of their actions. He also stated that he believed that the officers were doing an important job, and that he wanted to stand up for them and for the law.
During a debate with The Bulwark host Tim Miller on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Cain defended his decision to join ICE. He argued that people should not be judged based on their profession, and that he had the right to care about national security and the work of law enforcement agencies. He also pointed out that he had served as a deputy sheriff and reserve police officer, and that he was not untrained. He argued that those who work in law enforcement should be respected for their work and for the sacrifices they make on the job.
Cain’s decision to join ICE has sparked a lot of discussion, with some people criticizing the move as unnecessary and others supporting his decision as a way to show solidarity with the officers who are working in an increasingly difficult environment. The controversy has also led to a public exchange between Cain and John Oliver, with each taking the opportunity to mock the other. Despite the criticism, Cain has maintained that his decision was a way to support the officers and to stand up for the law, and that he believes that people should be able to take pride in their work, no matter what their profession is.
