The new Superman function in ICE is the ideal American plot cinema

Last week, actor Dean Caen, known for his filming of Superman on the TV program in the 1990s, Louis & Clark: The new Superman adventures will have the constitutional oath as the U.S. immigration and customs agent in the United States (ICE).

Caen said that he was joining the agency because the ice agents, who described them as “real real heroes”, were subjected to distortion. He also posted a video of Instagram ice with the playing of Superman’s song in the background, and enhanced the wages and generous benefits that come with an ICE agent.

Cain is not the only one. Some celebrities also defended Trump or praise of the ice. Dr. Phil tagged along the ice raids in Chicago and the migrants interrogated their arrest on the camera.

But the paradox is aside that the steel man himself was also actually an uncomfortable foreigner, so why is Superman very keen to join Draconian raids targeting immigrants?

For one reason, we need to understand the attractiveness of these ice processes.

Pictures of disguised federal customers, and out of armored vehicles, in military -style equipment and quickly descending around what ice enthusiasts are terrorists, rapists, personal fears, killers, drug dealers and gang members, very comfortable for many in the United States.

This is the result of a long history as the military police gained aspects of sacred in the country.

It has been well documented that contemporary police in the United States have their origins in slaves patrols. This means that the development of the American criminal justice system has its roots not only in slavery, but also in the belief that the slave revolutions or any effort to raise the racist hierarchy in American society represent an existential threat to the applicable social system.

Over the years, the gradual militarization of the police is the logical basis of existential crises in American society. Whether it is a rise to the organized crime during the era of the embargo in the twentieth century, the uprisings during the civil rights movement in the 1960s, or when President Richard Nixon announced that drug addiction “General Enemy 1” requires a “comprehensive attack”, as an excuse for the powerful police conditions in the military style in the American streets.

This militarization of the police was supported by Article 1033 of the National Defense Licensing Law for the fiscal year 1997, which was signed by President Bill Clinton in the law, which allowed local law enforcement agencies to access excess military equipment from the Ministry of Defense (DOD). The 1033 program allowed the Ministry of Defense to “sell or transport”, among other things, protected mine -protected vehicles, grenade launchers, aircraft and helicopters.

This love relationship with ice is also a cultural phenomenon. The policeman with arduous, violent and screaming edges is ready to move away from the limits of the law to protect innocent civilians from evil (Muslim, Soviet, and German) is the famous Hollywood and the American TV program. The nature of this perception that to keep America is safe from these existential threats, it is sometimes necessary to use deadly force or procedures outside the judiciary, regardless of the extent of cruelty or excessive.

Of course, in all this, we cannot ignore the deep and anti -migrant feelings that drive the ice.

In my adult life, I took these phobias of foreigners many forms.

As a 18 -year -old university student in New York State in the early first decade of the twentieth century, I was a material example of all evil and opposite things for the United States as the country launched its “global war on terror.” At that time, I remember a student colleague justifying the additional security checks through which I had to suffer at airports, saying: “You cannot ignore the fact that you look like people who hate us.”

In my late twenties as a PhD student in Copenhagen, I had to hear a great colleague saying: “You are an Indian. I think your skill rapes women.” He was referring to the rape of the Delhi 2012 bus gang that got global attention.

Globally, we have also seen a spread of reality TV programs such as Porder Security: Australia Line Front Line and nothing to announce the UK that claims to show the truth of the multiple threats facing Western countries on their borders.

It is now common to imagine the personality of immigrants as a bowl for all the things we fear and hate.

When Syrian refugees arrived in Europe in 2015, they were photographed as a security threat, a burden on public services, and the threat of European values.

Last year, the UK witnessed a wave of advanced riots to combat immigrants after a collective stabbing for girls in Soutbort. Riots followed false allegations that the attacker was a Muslim immigrant. The rioters attacked the actions of minorities, migrant homes and hotels that include asylum seekers.

This year, Ireland has witnessed anti -immigrant attacks on South Asia, including a six -year -old girl who was punching in the face and hit the genital area. These attacks are said to be angry with a strong crisis and housing places.

Such anti -migration feelings were a settlement of American policy.

While the speech during the Obama years was not hostile, the removal of illegal immigrants is still a political priority. President Obama was called “DePorter-inchief”, and in 2012, the deportations reached its climax at 409,849. However, in the same year, he also signed the postponed procedure for the policy of expatriates in childhood (DACA), allowing non -documented immigrants who were brought to the country as a palace to apply for “renewable periods of two years of post -post -deportation procedures, allowing them to stay in the country.” DACA also made it eligible for work permits.

The deportation was also a priority during the years of Biden. In the fiscal year 2023, the US immigration authorities deported or returned to 468,000 immigrants, bypassing any one year during the first period of Trump.

However, during the Trump period in the White House, the anti -immigrant speech was evil, and the Republican leader was not ashamed of depicting the immigrants as synonymous with criminality and existential threat to the demographic, moral and cultural fabric of the United States.

This was the framing of migrants as a problematic presence in American society as an excuse for Trump’s plan to build a wall across the borders of the United States to stop the movement of illegal immigrants, and to ban travel to citizens from several Muslim countries, and to suspend the admission program in the United States.

Trump’s second semester was not a continuation of such policies. With the continued genocide in Gaza and the simultaneous clarity of the Palestinian Solidarity Movement, the anti -immigration movement merged with the anti -curiosity racism, as ICE also targets active activists who claim the Trump administration and views of contradictory American values.

With all this in the background, it makes sense then that the actor who once played is not documented on the TV screen and which joins the Japanese heritage itself. In the Trump era, targeting tired and frozen masses that yearn for free breathing is the American method.
