Dean Cain named ICE honorary officer, supports Trump

Actor Dean Cain, best known for playing Superman in the 1990s TV series, was appointed an honorary officer of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In a social‑media video he urged his fans to join ICE, underscoring his support for President Donald Trump.

The appointment comes as ICE faced criticism for the March 25 2025 detention of Turkish doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk. U.S. authorities allegedly revoked her student visa on secret grounds of alleged Hamas support and, without public explanation, detained her in Louisiana. She spent two months in an overcrowded, mouse‑infested cell with 23 other women. The case has been cited as evidence that ICE under the Trump administration was used to intimidate political opponents.

Dean Cain, who turns 60 on July 31 2026, has become a vocal public figure for the agency despite the human‑rights concerns surrounding ICE’s actions.
