"For those who don't know, I am a sworn law enforcement officer, as well as being a filmmaker, and I felt it was important to join with our first responders to help secure the safety of all Americans, not just talk about it," the 59-year-old said. "So, I joined up."Cain also lauded the agency’s pay and benefits, which include a $50,000 signing bonus and student loan repayment programs."So, if you want to help save America, ICE is arresting the worst of the worst and removing them from America's streets," said Cain. "They need your help. We need your help, to protect our homeland and our families."Reactions to Cain’s announcement were mixed on social media."Superman himself would be disappointed in you Dean," wrote an X user."Thank you for your service.
