Dean Cain in his interview with Fox News talked about why he was joining ICE and said that he hoped to inspire others to join the organization. He said:

"I’m actually a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer – I wasn’t part of Ice, but once I put that out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy. So now I’ve spoken with some officials over at Ice, and I will be sworn in as an Ice agent, ASAP."

He further alluded to the US having what he called a "broken immigration system" and expressed his desire to help fix it. He said:

"This country was built on patriots stepping up, whether it was popular or not, and doing the right thing. I truly believe this is the right thing.We have a broken immigration system. Congress needs to fix it, but in the interim, president Trump ran on this. He is delivering on this. This is what people voted for. It’s what I voted for and he’s going to see it through, and I’ll do my part and help make sure it happens."
