Dean Cain's putting his money where his mouth is ... saying he plans to join ICE as soon as possible -- because he believes it's the right thing to do.

The 'Lois & Clark' actor appeared on Fox News Wednesday night ... telling Jesse Watters he's been in touch with ICE officials and will be sworn in as an agent very soon.

Watters asks Cain squarely if he'll be "hopping out of ICE vans and apprehending guys" ... to which Cain says he'll do whatever ICE Director Todd Lyons wants -- and if that's what it takes, then absolutely.

President Trump is still going after Stephen Colbert ... and he says he could find two people on the street who could get higher TV ratings.

Trump went in on Colbert yet again Wednesday while taking questions in the Oval Office at the White House ... and then he lashed out at Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel.

6:41 AM PT -- United States Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro tells TMZ ... “It’s time we start taking crime more seriously irrespective of the age of the criminal. No longer can we coddle criminals while innocent victims are being assaulted and maimed as young violent criminals avoid consequences. It’s time for this to end.”

Donald Trump is furious about what he sees as out-of-control violence in Washington, D.C. -- and he's pointing to a specific case that's really hitting home for him!

47 is super pissed that former DOGE staffer Edward "Big Balls" Coristine was savagely beaten by a bunch of juveniles in D.C. over the weekend and now he's threatening to federalize the nation's capital. Elon Musk was the head of DOGE -- the Department of Government Efficiency -- before exiting the administration after having a falling out with Trump.

In a Truth Social post Tuesday, Trump went off on local officials, saying teen gang members had taken over D.C. and are "randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens."

He added that if D.C. didn't get its act together he would be forced to take federal control of the city to put criminals on notice because "they’re not going to get away with it anymore." Trump also cited the assault of "Big Balls" and posted a bloody photo of Coristine after the beatdown.

According to a police report obtained by TMZ, "Big Balls" was with his significant other, Emily Bryant, near his vehicle in D.C. in the early morning hours Sunday. Police say a group of 10 juveniles confronted them and said something about stealing their car.

Cops say "Big Balls" shoved Bryant inside the vehicle and turned toward the assailants, who began brutally assaulting him. Officers on patrol witnessed the assault and arrested 2 of the suspects, while police say the other attackers ran away with one stolen item -- an iPhone worth $1,000.

8:55 AM PT -- Hours after Dean Cain appealed for people to join ICE, Dept. of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted her appearance on Fox News today on X, announcing ICE's hiring age cap has been lifted.

Noem said ... "Our recruitment efforts to hire 10,000 new ICE officers has been extremely successful ... as of today we have over 80,000 applicants for those 10,000 positions already ... we've removed any of the age barriers, we no longer have a cap on how old you can be."

The DHS website features the details of the announcement.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... Dean Cain pulling up to deport undocumented individuals???

She simply said she feels "sorry" DT has such an issue with her ... adding she likes her job and she's going to keep doing it -- and doing it well!

He piled on with, "No talent, no ratings, no strength!!!"

President Trump would hit a home run if he were to grant Sean "Diddy" Combs a pardon for his prostitution conviction ... at least according to Mark Geragos.

Rep. Nancy Mace says the hate Sydney Sweeney is getting for her controversial American Eagle commercial and for being a registered Republican sums up left-wingers ... she says they can't accept anyone with different views.

The Republican Congresswoman from South Carolina joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and we asked her how the GOP feels about the Sydney controversy ... including the actress being heckled Sunday at a movie premiere in Hollywood.

Nancy, who earlier in the day announced she's running for Governor of South Carolina, says it's more evidence of the left's intolerance.

Candace Owens claims Donald Trump personally intervened in her quest to expose France's First Lady Brigitte Macron as an alleged trans woman -- but CO says she never backed down to 47's demands.

Owens went on Tucker Carlson's podcast last week and told the former Fox News host Trump phoned her to tell her to knock off all the talk about French President Emmanuel Macron's wife being a trans woman. Candace claimed she received the Trump call after Macron flew to Washington, D.C. to request the 47th prez contact her over her viral series, 'Becoming Brigitte.'

Watch the clip ... it's super interesting seeing Candace and Tucker banter back and forth about the two world leaders over Brigitte's alleged secret she's been hiding all these years -- at least according to Candace.
