'Superman' actor Dean Cain becomes ICE agent to support 'vilified' officersFormer “Superman” actor Dean Cain ridiculed “Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver on Monday over his monologue claiming Immigration and Customs Enforcement was “f—ed” if they let the actor join its ranks.

Near the end of his show on Sunday, Oliver mocked both ICE and Cain over news that ICE had removed its age limits and would be swearing in the “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” star as an “honorary ICE officer.” “You know, there’s an old saying in Hollywood: ‘If all you can get is Dean Cain, you are f—ed,’” Oliver said “Now, I’m not saying that ICE isn’t finding people. I’m just saying, when you are reduced to pinning a badge on the 59-year-old star of ‘The Dog Who Saved Christmas,’ ‘The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation,’ ‘The Dog Who Saved the Holidays,’ ‘The Dog Who Saved Halloween,’ ‘The Dog Who Saved Easter,’ and ‘The Dog Who Saved Summer,’ maybe you are in trouble.” He added, “Although, on the plus side, no need for that guy to wear a mask because the chances of anyone recognizing him are f—ing zero.”Former “Superman” actor Dean Cain took a shot at “Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver after he mocked him and Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a segment on his show.“He stole that mask joke from the internet — and he also laughed hysterically when Trump said he was going to run for President. Case closed. ,” During the show, Oliver also gave advice to viewers on how to interact with ICE agents, telling them to only say “Am I free to leave?” and “I want to speak to a lawyer.”Oliver mocked the actor by saying if the best ICE can do to get new recruits is hiring Cain, “you are f—ed.”“And I recognize that in some cases you may be unable to help yourself from saying, ‘Didn’t you used to be Superman? I thought you died. I can’t believe I’m meeting a filmmaker,’ but that really is it,” Oliver joked. Cain will be sworn in as an honorary officer in the coming month, assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin, the Department of Homeland Security’s spokesperson, said. Although it wasn’t immediately clear what his duties as an honorary officer would entail. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Cain described joining ICE as a way to show support for the officers that he believes were being “vilified” for doing their jobs. Cain took to X to call out Oliver’s stunt while appearing on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” to double down on his stance in joining ICE.“If you’re a legal citizen here in this country, no worries, you’re great, but if you’re here illegally, you’ve broken the law to begin with, whatever the circumstances are. You had multiple opportunities to self-deport, and the fact that these men and women who are doing their jobs are getting vilified, I had to stand up with them and for them, because I think it takes people standing up to change the culture,” Cain said. “Now we’ve got ICE agents — and, apparently, former ‘Superman’ actors — who are going to jump out of vans and nab them and hold them in deportation cells. That’s insane. Like, that’s not how you act in a free country,” Miller mocked. “I’m not untrained,” Cain shot back, bringing up how he became a deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer nearly a decade ago. “So, I don’t know why you’re saying untrained. And by the way, when you join ICE, they train you. So, to say that and try to denigrate because I’m an actor, I shouldn’t be able to be concerned about what’s going on with our borders or with our law enforcement agencies is denigrating. It’s ridiculous. Should I say because you’re a former Republican strategist, you have no say on anything? That’s baloney,” he added.Here's what authorities think caused mysterious death of NYC designer found on insurance mogul's Montauk boatBlake Lively takes swipe at Justin Baldoni’s lawyer over alleged ‘smear campaign’ in deposition transcript Leonardo DiCaprio suffers embarrassment as he’s stopped and searched by police who don’t recognize him ‘Southern Charm’ Alum JT Thomas Flashes Bare Butt In Bizarre Nude Photo On Social Media: “Clearly I’ve Had Enough Wine”Former"Superman" actor Dean Cain took a shot at"Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver after he mocked him and Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a segment on his show.Oliver mocked the actor by saying if the best ICE can do to get new recruits is hiring Cain,"you are f---ed."Cain took to X to call out Oliver's stunt while appearing on"Piers Morgan Uncensored" to double down on his stance in joining ICE.
