John Leguizamo Slams Former Superman Actor: “What a Moron”
Dean Cain, who became famous for playing Superman on the 1990s TV show Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, is about to join U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as an honorary officer.
This information was shared by Tricia McLaughlin, the spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, who said Cain will be sworn in next month. However, it’s not yet clear what his duties will be in this honorary role.
Cain spoke about his decision during an interview on Fox News. He explained that he had already talked with officials at ICE and is ready to start his new role soon. Cain, now 59, also said he is a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer.
He told Fox News, “I put out a recruitment video yesterday – I’m actually a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer – I wasn’t part of ICE, but once I put that out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy.”
Earlier this week, Cain shared a video on social media encouraging others to join ICE. The Department of Homeland Security recently announced it is removing age limits for new ICE hires. The agency hopes to bring in many new employees after Congress approved a large increase in funding. This move comes as ICE ramps up its immigration enforcement efforts.
Now John Leguizamo has joined the fray. The actor slammed actor and Trump supporter Dean Cain for announcing that he would be joining ICE, or Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In the scathing takedown, the Romeo + Juliet star said, “What kind of loser volunteers to be an ICE officer? What a moron. Dean Cain, your pronouns are ‘has/been.‘”
Cain’s joining ICE comes at a time when the agency faces heavy criticism. Since President Trump returned to office, ICE has increased immigration raids, causing protests and legal battles in many states. Some critics call the raids unlawful, and California’s Governor Gavin Newsom has challenged the president’s authority in court. Earlier this year, Trump also sent National Guard troops to Los Angeles during protests over immigration enforcement.
Dean Cain’s political views have changed over time. He told Fox News that he was once a registered Republican but later became an Independent because he felt the Republican Party did not represent his beliefs fully.
This is not the first time that Leguizamo has criticized Trump’s immigration policy. Back in 2024, he said that no matter which factors you take into account, Trump doesn’t like Latino immigrants, and so any Latino support he may receive is unacceptable:
“Donald, stop beating around the bush. We want nice people, Swiss people, ski instructors, Wes Anderson fans. Just say ‘white people,’” Leguizamo said.
