He’s now the Man of ICE.

Actor Dean Cain announced Tuesday that he joined US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to support President Trump’s mass deportation efforts and “help save America.”

Cain, 59, who played Clark Kent on ABC’s “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” alongside Teri Hatcher’s Lois Lane from 1993 to 1997, shared the shocking news in a recruitment-style video on social media while urging others to join him in booting illegal migrants from the country.

“For those who don’t know, I am a sworn law enforcement officer, as well as being a filmmaker, and I felt it was important to join with our first responders to help secure the safety of all Americans, not just talk about it, so I joined up,” the conservative media personality said in a nearly two-minute clip on X.

“Since President Trump took office, ICE has arrested hundreds of thousands of criminals, including terrorists, rapists, murderers, pedophiles, MS-13 gang members, drug traffickers, you name it — very dangerous people are who are no longer on the streets.”

The former “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!” host went on to tout the agency’s “great benefits and pay,” along with a $50,000 signing bonus announced last week by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

He also boasted that no college degree is required, meaning “you can get to work right away.”

“So if you want to help save America, ICE is arresting the worst of the worst and removing them from American’s streets,” said Cain, who was sporting a black American Sniper tee.

“I like that. I voted for that. They need your help, we need your help, to protect our homeland and our families. So check into it and join today if it’s something that tickles your fancy because we can use you.”

Commenters were quick to note that Cain is 22 years over the federal agency’s maximum recruitment age of 37, casting doubt on the legitimacy of his latest public reveal.

Cain, in response to one critic who snarked about the age limit, said, “Perhaps we’ll get that changed…”

Another user chimed in, writing that “Superman himself would be disappointed.”

Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the agency has waived the age limit to allow for new applicants, with Cain expected to be sworn in as an honorary ICE Officer in the coming month.

“Superman is encouraging Americans to become real-life superheroes by answering their country’s call to join the brave men and women of ICE to help protect our communities to arrest the worst of the worst,” McLaughlin said in a statement to The Post.

“ICE waived age limits for new applications so even more patriots will qualify to join ICE in its mission to arrest murderers, pedophiles, gang members, rapists, and other criminal illegal aliens from America’s streets”

The actor’s endorsement comes a week after DHS launched “Defend the Homeland,” a nationwide recruitment campaign aiming to hire 10,000 new agents following the passage of Trump’s massive funding bill.

The agency is offering a $50,000 signing bonus, student loan repayment and forgiveness options, enhanced retirement benefits and more to recruits and retired agents who return to service.

“Your country is calling you to serve at ICE,” Noem said in the July 29 announcement, blasting the Biden administration for its “failed immigration policies.”

“This is a defining moment in our nation’s history. Your skills, your experiences, and your courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland.”
