Former Superman actor Dean Cain has announced he will soon be sworn in as an ICE agent, joining the agency’s efforts to expand its workforce. Cain, who is already a sworn law enforcement officer, praised the recruitment campaign aimed at doubling ICE’s personnel to support President Trump’s push for increased deportations, BBC reported.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Cain’s honorary appointment, highlighting his encouragement for Americans to join ICE and help protect communities. ICE is actively recruiting, offering bonuses of up to $50,000 and removing age limits to attract more candidates amid rising immigration enforcement.

Currently, ICE employs about 20,000 officers and staff nationwide. The agency recently received a significant budget increase, making it the highest funded federal law enforcement body, as it steps up deportations despite protests and criticism, according to BBC.

Israel’s security cabinet has approved a plan to seize control of Gaza City, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed. The majority of ministers rejected an alternative strategy, citing doubts it would defeat Hamas or secure the release of hostages, BBC reported.

The UN warned the operation could lead to catastrophic consequences, while families of hostages expressed fears for their loved ones’ safety. The decision comes amid growing international calls for an end to the conflict and increased humanitarian aid access.

The conflict began after Hamas’s October 7 attack, which killed around 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages. Since then, over 61,000 Palestinians have died in Israel’s military offensive, according to Gaza’s health ministry. Access for international media to Gaza remains heavily restricted, according to BBC.

Donald Trump has urged Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan to resign immediately, citing concerns over Tan’s investments in companies linked to the Chinese military. Tan, who joined Intel earlier this year to help revive the company, has faced criticism from Republican lawmakers over national security risks, according to BBC.

Intel defended Tan, stressing their commitment to US security and ongoing domestic investments. Experts believe Trump’s attack may also relate to tensions over Intel’s US manufacturing plans.

Following Trump’s comments, Intel’s shares fell more than 3 percent. With US chip production a key priority, industry watchers say stable leadership is vital for Intel’s future growth, BBC reported.
