The actor will be sworn in ‘ASAP’ amid the federal agency’s recruitment drive and unprecedented immigration raids that have sparked protest across the US

Former Superman actor Dean Cain has announced he has signed up to join US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), in order to support Donald Trump’s anti-immigration agenda.

The federal law enforcement agency has aggressively ramped up immigration raids since Trump’s return to the White House and was recently awarded $75bn in extra funding as part of the president’s “big beautiful bill”, which includes billions for hiring an additional 10,000 Ice agents by 2029.

Speaking on Fox News on Wednesday night, Cain told host Jesse Watters that he decided to join Ice after sharing one of their recruitment videos on his Instagram account on Tuesday, which Watters had spoken about on his show.

    The party elites will not give up control of the party willingly, even for someone who represents overwhelmingly popular policies.

    DNC has ~400 voting members and their only job is to elect a chair. The chair then has complete power and zero accountability.

    They 100% could have chosen to stick with the bullshit neoliberalism you’re talking about

    They picked the state chair from Minnesota. A guy that turned a purple state not only blue, but home to some of our most progressive Dems in office.

    Ken Martin isn’t perfect, and I doubt I agree with him on a bunch of policy. But that doesn’t matter, the way he’s always led a party is pretty fucking simple but very effective:

    1. Run a non-biased primary

    2. Support whoever makes it to the general.

    Like, you’re about six months behind bud, what you’re complaining about was already fixed.

    Just don’t expect billionaire owned media to spend a lot of time accurately reporting on it.

      At best what can be said is that a band aid has been slapped on a patient with an aggressive terminal cancer.
