Dean Cain, most known for his role as the “Man of Steel” Superman, has announced his intentions to join the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE)

During a recent interview with noted US media house, FOX, Cain, who is already a sworn-in law enforcement officer, said, “I will be sworn in as an ICE agent asap”.

While his onscreen portrayal of “Clark Kent” symbolises hope and aid, his real-life aspiration may perhaps be a signal of alarm to many who view the organisation, which has courted controversy and distress among many in recent times.

This comes following his released video, where he encouraged members of the public to join the organisation following a recruitment drive by the agency, which has become a focal part of the US Immigration discussions in the execution of detention and deportation.

“I put out a recruitment video yesterday – I’m actually a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer,” said the actor – I wasn’t part of ICE, but once I put that out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy”.

“So now I’ve spoken with some officials over at ICE, and I will be sworn in as an ICE agent asap.”

While his onscreen portrayal of “Clark Kent” symbolises hope and aid, his real-life aspiration may perhaps be a signal of alarm to many who view the organisation, which has courted controversy and distress among many in recent times.

“People have to step up. I’m stepping up. Hopefully, a whole bunch of other former officers, former ICE agents, will step up, and we’ll meet those recruitment goals immediately, and we’ll help protect this country,” Cain added.
