Superman joins ICE: “I will be sworn in as an agent ASAP”
The Superman actor has revealed that he intends to join ICE in a bid to support Trump’s hardline immigration policy.
In another twist to the never-ending hall of mirrors that is the modern-day newsreel, Superman — the alien being instilled with American values to fight for good against evil, for fairness over injustice, for peace over war — is joining ICE. Children of America will no longer wear the red-and-blue onesie to birthday parties, but black ski masks and bulletproof vests.
Actor Dean Cain, who played the hero in the 90s series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, has revealed to Fox News that he is set to join ICE in order to “protect our homeland and our families.”
The 59-year-old former Superman said that he is going to be “sworn in ASAP” into the force which has become notorious for “cruel, inhumane, and racist tactics” against citizens across the country who “disproportionately target Latin American men of colour.”
Cain, nearly a pensioner, said that he would indeed hop out of an ICE van to apprehend people; he also claimed he was bombarded with messages of support after making his decision public.
We knew Trump’s second term would be bad, but the route down which he is taking the United States is, to put it lightly, a worrying one. The White House official twitter account is the modern mouthpiece of the residence of arguably the most powerful person in the world, yet it reads like Karoline Leavitt’s burner account.
Recently, during a huge recruitment drive, the account uploaded a poster for ICE which had striking similarities to one released in the 20th century by Nazi German, urging young people to join the army.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, along with other groups, released a report on the actions of ICE. Vanessa Stine, senior staff attorney for immigrant rights at the ACLU of Pennsylvania and an author of the report, said that it “confirmed that ICE abuses are not isolated incidents or the work of a few bad apples, they are systemic features of how ICE operates. There is no distinction under the U.S. Constitution between the rights of noncitizens and citizens. This report is a damning condemnation of how ICE violates people’s rights every day.”
