Dean Cain Defends ICE Role Amid John Oliver Criticism

Actor Dean Cain faced sharp criticism from John Oliver on Last Week Tonight for his decision to join U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with Oliver mocking Cain's acting career and suggesting that Cain's involvement signals trouble for ICE. Oliver joked about Cain's low recognizability, saying there was no need for him to wear a mask because few people would recognize him, and ridiculed his numerous dog-themed holiday movies. Cain responded by defending his decision to support ICE, highlighting his long-standing ties to law enforcement as a sworn deputy sheriff and reserve police officer. He accused Oliver of stealing the mask joke from the internet and criticized him for laughing at President Trump's announcement of his presidential run. Cain emphasized that ICE agents are being vilified unfairly despite doing the job mandated by Congress and called on others to join ICE to help protect America. The exchange highlights the polarized views surrounding ICE and Cain's controversial career move amidst his public defense of the agency.
