Dean Cain—yes, the former Superman actor—has officially joined ICE. He claims it’s a move to “serve America” and support law enforcement. But let’s be honest—it couldn’t possibly be because he’s a washed-up has-been who couldn’t find other work, right? Totally patriotic. 🙄
This stunt is more than just celebrity cosplay in a government agency. ICE, under the Trump administration, has become a symbol of unchecked power and racial targeting. Reports of extrajudicial kidnappings, raids without proper warrants, and heavy-handed tactics have been piling up for years. And now, they have a Hollywood face to help sell it.
Here’s the truth: when the House flips, ICE’s abuses will finally be dragged into the daylight. Every questionable detention, every rights violation, every raid that skirted the Constitution—Congress will be watching, and accountability will be non-negotiable.
Trump’s appointment patterns aren’t about finding the best talent. They’re about rewarding loyalty, fueling fear, and distracting from the scandals that never go away. He’s doing everything he can to make America forget about Epstein, and it’s never going to work. No matter how many celebrity headlines he throws in the way, the truth is still there.
What we’re seeing is the ugly combination of political theater and real harm. ICE is not a stage for washed-up actors to relaunch their careers—it’s an agency with the power to change lives, often for the worse. Putting a pop culture figure in a badge doesn’t make it noble; it makes it a circus.
But there’s a bigger issue here: the culture of corruption and ignorance that has become standard operating procedure under this Trump, racially fueled, fear machine. We’ve got an administration more interested in headlines than justice, more committed to division than unity, and more skilled at distraction than at solving the real problems facing our country.
When I’m elected as your congressman, it is my hope that we can work in a bipartisan way to restore democracy and reverse this dangerous decline. That means not only investigating abuses by ICE, but also rebuilding trust in our institutions, making government accountable to the people, and putting an end to political stunts that waste time and erode confidence in our system.
We need serious leadership that focuses on results—not reality show casting. We need representatives who will roll up their sleeves, work with colleagues from both parties, and put the well-being of Americans first. And we need to make sure that no administration, Republican or Democrat, ever treats our government like a personal PR campaign again.
Dean Cain joining ICE might grab headlines today, but tomorrow we’ll still be dealing with the real problems—unconstitutional actions, abuses of power, and a lack of accountability. That’s the fight I’m ready to take on.

Oh, and yes, The United States is a constitutional democratic republic.
Constitutional — The authority of government is limited by the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees certain rights that can’t be overridden by majority vote.
Republic — Power comes from the people, but it’s exercised through elected representatives rather than direct rule by the public.
Democratic — Citizens choose those representatives through free and fair elections.
I can not make it any simpler people!
