Actor John Leguizamo criticizes Dean Cain's new role in ICE with harsh words
In a recent turn of events, actor Dean Cain has announced his decision to join the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. This announcement has sparked a lively discussion on social media platforms, particularly on Twitter.
On August 8, 2025, comedian Margaret Cho posted a message about Cain's decision, which included an image. Cho's post has since been retweeted and liked by many, indicating a wide range of opinions on the matter. The post reads, "Always wrong - never white. Dumbass," followed by a screenshot of Cain's recruitment video for ICE.
Cain, who was born Dean George Tanaka, has faced criticism from some quarters for his decision to join ICE. Actor John Leguizamo was among those who lambasted Cain, calling him "a moron" in a separate post. Leguizamo's comments focused on condemning Cain's political stance and involvement with ICE rather than addressing any historical family experiences related to incarceration.
It is worth noting that Cain's family was interred in a U.S. prison camp during World War II, an aspect of his history that has not been the central focus of the ongoing controversy.
The Twitter post about Cain does not contain any advertisements and was made by an account named @iamalmostlegend. The post is a continuation of the criticism Cain has received on social media regarding his decision to join ICE.
