Dean Cain is reaching new heights, and this time, it’s not just on screen. The former Superman actor is flexing his influence to boost applications for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, Cain’s push for recruitment has led to a significant increase in applications, with over 80,000 Americans looking to join the agency. Who knew that the cape could come with a badge too?
Cain took to social media to encourage his followers to consider careers with ICE, asserting that these officers tackle tough challenges, from rooting out terrorists to fighting crime in neighborhoods. Shortly after he made his pitch, he appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” announcing his own intention to sign up. Talk about taking your superhero role seriously! If only all of us could leap into action that quickly—with or without the spandex.
This unexpected crossover from Hollywood to law enforcement has both fans and critics talking. Some might see it as a noble endeavor, while others wonder if a celebrity should really be influencing such serious recruitment efforts. After all, there are more questions than answers here! Are celebrity endorsements really the way to boost applications for critical roles like these, or is it just another PR stunt?
Whatever the case, Cain is certainly making waves and giving a whole new meaning to ‘being a superhero’ by hitting the recruitment trail. Honestly, with someone like him speaking out, it might just encourage more folks to put on those badges—who wouldn’t want to work alongside the Man of Steel?
