John Leguizamo Calls Dean Cain a ‘Moron’ for Joining ICE: ‘What Kind of Loser Volunteers’ for That?

Leguizamo had a few words for Cain after the former Superman actor shared that he plans to be sworn in as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

“What kind of loser volunteers to be an ICE officer?” Leguizamo said in a front-facing camera video posted to his Instagram on Friday. “What a moron. Dean Cain, your pronouns are has/been.”

Off of Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ “Superman” opening at the box office in July, Cain has ridden on the coattails of his most memorable role’s renewed relevance and engaged in his biggest wave of press engagement in some years. Before the reboot’s release, Cain, who portrayed the Man of Steel in the ’90s television series “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” criticized its director James Gunn for calling the superhero an “immigrant” and alleged that Hollywood had made the character “woke.”

On Wednesday, Cain made an appearance on Fox News and stated that he plans to be “sworn in as an ICE agent, ASAP.” He argued that the U.S. “was built on patriots stepping up, whether it was popular or not,” and that joining ICE was “the right thing” to do.

Leguizamo has long been an advocate for Latino representation in Hollywood, telling People magazine in 2020, “We’re less than 1% of the stories told by Hollywood and streaming media and networks when we’re almost 20% of the population, 25% of the U.S. box office. I just feel like it’s such a damage to kids not to see themselves reflected back in positive ways.”

In July, Congress approved a massive spike to ICE funding, expanding its annual budget from $8 billion to roughly $28 billion. It will become the highest funded law enforcement agency in the federal government. On Wednesday, ICE announced that it would remove its age limit for applicants, which had previously only accepted individuals between the ages of 21 and 40.

I just love that celebrities are calling his has-been grifting behind on his BS. Margaret Cho also dragged Dean "MAGA Superman" Tanaka online, saying the following: “Why would you join ICE and encourage people to join ICE when your ancestors were interned in World War II?” Cho asked in a video posted to her Instagram account with the text “Why would you join #ICE #dumb” written across it.

“You’re Japanese,” she continued, “You’re not even white… I know you, and you are not white.”

The self-hatred that oozes from people like Dean is beyond pathetic.
