Superman Dean Cain brushes off uproar over…
Superman star Dean Cain laughed off criticism of his resolution to be a part of Immigration and Customs Enforcement from cynical celebrities and politicians in an interview with The Post.
Detractors had hurled schoolyard barbs and below the belt jabs at the Nineties heartthrob — such as allegations he dyes his hair — but he remained unfazed by their taunts.
“I do not dye my hair. I’m very blessed with it. But I love when that attack comes out. It’s the ad hominem attacks when they have no argument,” Cain, 59 and still blessed with silky black locks told The Post in an interview from his home in Las Vegas.
“When you stand up for something you believe in, if people don’t like it, they attack you.”

Other Trump-hating celebs wasted no time taking to social media to slam Cain’s announcement he was becoming a member of the combat to defend America and clean up the border catastrophe, including “Ice Age” actor John Leguizamo and comic Margaret Cho.
“What kind of loser volunteers to be an ICE officer?” Leguizamo said in an Instagram video. “What a moron. Dean Cain, your pronouns are has/been.”
Comedian Margaret Cho posted a weird rant on TikTok accusing Cain, who has Japanese ancestry, of wanting “to be white.”

It even unfold to members of Congress when Florida Democrat Rep. Jared Moskowitz wrote on X:“$50,000 government signing bonus to @RealDeanCain. His largest contractual signing bonus ever.”
“He’s making fun of ICE agents. He’s trying to make fun of me,” Cain told The Post. “This is a sitting US congressman. This is a person who writes laws in this country and he’s vilifying and demeaning law enforcement. That’s insane.”
Democrat congressman Mark Pocan from Wisconsin also joined the dogpile, writing on X: “Superman was an immigrant who helped ordinary people regardless of where they were from. And he didn’t wear a mask. @RealDeanCain wants to cosplay as an ICE agent,” ignoring the fact Superman is fictional.

Cain is hardly stunned by the outrage. He claimed Democrats perpetrated the current immigration mess by advocating for open borders for census numbers and growing their illustration in Congress in his interview with The Post.
“Some of these politicians are so power hungry. They don’t care about you and me and the regular everyday people on the street,” he says.
“They’re safe in their gilded cage, so to speak. They’re protected by men and women with guns,” he continued. “They just want to hold on to power and they don’t care what it does to your everyday American. And that disgusts me.”
Cain’s haters only have themselves to blame. The entire factor got here about from a misunderstanding. On Aug. 5 Cain posted a two-minute long video supporting ICE recruitment — which now contains a $50,000 signing bonus. But unscrupulous social media customers interpreted the promo as an announcement that he had joined the company.
“People went bananas thinking I had joined ICE. And then I was speaking to some folks over at ICE and I said, ‘you know what, let’s do it,’” Cain told the Post.
He went on Fox News that night time to make an official announcement.
Superman was an immigrant who helped odd people regardless of where they had been from. And he didn’t put on a masks.@RealDeanCain desires to cosplay as an ICE agent. Sort of the other.
Not a job for real heroes. Real heroes can be whistleblowers from within. 🤷♂️ https://t.co/tuozki6CAJ

Cain says he has no drawback muting the trolls and is keen to get sworn in. At 59 years previous, his function could also be only honorary, he says. He gained’t settle for the $50,000 signing bonus, he told The Post, unless compelled to do so—in which case he’ll donate it to charity.
Cain is no stranger to law enforcement training. He’s been a deputy sheriff and reserve police officer for about a decade—impressed to show his assist when the Defund the Police motion gained traction.
Still, he has a message for any felony illegals still inside America’s borders.
“Stay at your own risk if you’re here illegally. Especially if you’re a criminal. We’re going to find you.”
If despatched into the sector, would he put on a masks?
“I would not. I’m out and proud. So it’s clear who I am. And I know it makes me a target. My parents don’t like that,” he says.
“Good Samaritans stand up,” he said, referencing Daniel Penny, the Marine veteran who was finally cleared of wrongdoing after he held a threatening passenger down to defend other riders on a New York subway and the person died.
“Penny stood up and protected people on the subway. He got vilified for it,” famous Cain.
“When you see these criminals removed from our streets and then our country you realize, man, that could have been Jocelyn Nungaray, that could have been Laken Riley,” he said.
Cain was referencing a 12-year-old woman allegedly raped and murdered by two Venezuelan illegals and 22-year-old faculty pupil Riley, brutally murdered by Jose Ibarra, who had gang ties and was caught by federal officers illegally coming into the nation in 2022, but still allowed into the US to kill.
