Hollywood actors Dean Cain and John Leguizamo have found themselves at odds over former US President Donald Trump's immigration policies, sparking a fiery debate on social media.
The controversy began when Leguizamo, known for his outspoken liberal views, criticised Trump's administration for its treatment of migrants. Cain, a conservative-leaning actor, quickly fired back, defending the role of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The Social Media Showdown
Leguizamo took to Twitter to voice his disapproval of Trump's policies, calling them "cruel" and "inhumane." The Colombian-American actor has been a vocal critic of the former president's approach to immigration.
Cain, best known for playing Superman in the 1990s TV series "Lois & Clark," responded by praising ICE officers as "heroes" who protect American borders. The exchange quickly escalated, with both actors standing firm in their positions.
Hollywood's Political Divide
The spat highlights the growing political divide in Hollywood, where conservative voices like Cain's remain in the minority. While many celebrities openly support Democratic policies, Cain has been unapologetic about his right-leaning views.
Leguizamo, meanwhile, has used his platform to advocate for immigrant rights and progressive causes. The debate has drawn attention to how entertainment figures are increasingly engaging in political discourse.
Public Reaction
The online exchange has sparked mixed reactions from fans. Some have applauded Leguizamo for speaking out, while others have supported Cain's defence of border security measures.
As the conversation continues to trend, it underscores how immigration remains one of America's most contentious political issues, even among celebrities.
